This was found along the beach and I think looks similar to SaU169 or a tumbled version of the NEA (Northeast Africa) - There is a small area in the middle that attracts a magnet. It does leave a streak in ceramic which I assume means no meteorite - Can someone tell me why ALL meteorite won't leave streaks??

This is actual SaU169 as originally found SaU 169.webp

This is an unidentified NEA Meteorite shown on tucsonmeteorite website NEA Meteorite 2.webp
 

I started to say hematite but then saw the crystals. in it and hematite does not have crystals .So i would look into one of the labs that i.d and classify meteorites.
 

thanks Supertraq.......do you mean the crystals in the 5th photo? (#1 in 2nd row)?
 

Here is another pic showing what I sanded down
