No, it does NOT look like a meteorite. It looks like common "slag," or possibly Basalt rock. Sorry. :skullflag:

What are the specific characteristics of this item that make you believe it is a meteorite? Where did you get that information? I would like to know so I can avoid sending people there for information.

Time for coffee.

Slag from what I see

I am not sure what that means. The possibilities are too numerous to get started.

My question above was quite serious. There is a lot of misinformation out there. When I happen upon some, I like to share where not to go.

Not meteorite. Doesn't look like basalt to me either. Slag is a possibility.

The holes in the stone are not meteoric in nature,
