Certainly looks like fusion crust, to me, but then I only know
what I've learned here from others.
Could you take some sharper images with another camera or
better phone camera?

Welcome to Tnet
Going from your pictures alone, I don't see anything which would enable this to be determined as a meteorite.
What exactly does "it passes the at home tests" mean? You've told us absolutely nothing about the properties of your find, nor the circumstances of where/how you found it. Utah is a big place.

Some facts ....
I have NOT
obtained a chemical analysis for any elements.
It DOES contain a shiny metal like star pattern inside and it DOES attract a cheap ceramic magnet.
It ISvery heavy.
Weighs near 10 lbs or more.
It WAS found near a water.
The ground around it for some strange reason looked gold
I've had a gemologist who seen it who was baffled by it's perfect star pattern design on the inside.
A guy who buys rocks and metorites here local said it is not a metorite and said feldspar... I've looked at feldspar online and don't agree.
I'm open-minded wanting to learn what this is.
I'm still looking at images....
I know where others are near by the one I found lodged into the ground.
Maybe there is what I call the mother load which is huge one just like the little one I have wich is about 4inches thick and 6 inches long .
After using a Dremel to see how it would polish with this silver cleaner it did something strange . A month later when getting into the cleaner the container was filled with angel like hair crystals all through it were growing everywhere throughout the container.
I don't know.... it was just frkn weird.....
It DOES have a crust of some kind only on one side. This crust side is the top of the wedge where it is flat. The other side goes into a point or a wedge.
It ISof a wedge shape.
