To be, or not to be? A Troct by any other name...?

Just looking to get some first impressions from the forum on this piece here. You can see the flat section along the side where I made a cut and have a little bit of a polish worked up there.

Is anybody thinking troctolite possibly, based on the close-up pictures and microscope images at all? Or from the short video I will link to below?

I like to get some thoughts based on that, but I will go into more detail in a later reply post if there's any affirmative feedback from this.

Thank you's!

I know nothing about trocta's, but it's a cool rock, nonetheless.

I would say "or not to be" a meteorite since it was posted here. Pretty cool whatever it is.
