I Just Don't Know!

Hey folks, I put this item in "Rocks and Gems" forum with pics..but think it might belong here. This stone has me Baffled! The more I've researched, the more I see and read, there's a heavier consistency 'away' from terrestrial basalt..and more towards..(crazy I know) but.. 'Lunar basalt'! ...Right down to 'no magnetism (iron)', few spots (3) of possible 'melted nickel', in the 'lime green and grey molded exterior'!!...the newer pics here and in the other forum do not compare to the 'naked eye'.
Anyone have more info??
Thanks
TJE

Well, and you probably know this, the odds are many millions to one that it is not. An experienced eye can probably rule one way or another, but here are labs that test:


FOUND A METEORITE?
 

I have a few of these myself. Looks like a bunch of tiny metal rods and cut a piece looks the same. I ruled mine as slag with asphalt. Bummer!!!
