please help! stony meteorite? h5 chondrite?

[andrewarena]

Passes all home Id tests, holds a magnet well, streak tests etc, Is 4.5kg with a 1-1.5mm crust where Its still remaining in full with a smooth leathery touch. Has moderate-2-heavy weathering I believe, but It Is still solid tho a little crumbly when very roughly handled? what do you guys think it could be? A meteorite or crud rock? Taking it to Sydney museum in 2 weeks.

I don't think it's a meteorite because it's too rough and angular, to me looks more like some kind of brick.

Best guess is basalt with a lot of iron in it.

Isn't this the third post of the same rock?

Do you live in an area isolated covered in snow?
Did you see this rock fall from the sky?

I'm not being facetious, It doesn't look like a chondrites h5.

never snowed here, was not a witnessed fall either.
there is a huge piece of land on my drive to work that is being plowed for farming where they keep putting stones in a big cage near the road, so I stopped to go though them
there was no similar stones in the area and sorry about the h5 suggestion
im just probing for as many opinions as possible
thanks! keep them coming

Terrestrial basalt.
