Hi, I found this tiny rock which is 5mm in length and weighs 1.3g. When i grinded a corner, the interior was made of metal but under the microscope there are also tiny yellow crystals in between the metal. It dose stick to a magnet and it has a smooth dark surface.
Could this possibly be a meteorite?

I think you have one! Consider taking/sending it to a university's geology dept. Phoenix has one of the best in the country. The yellow between the metal may mean pallasite. Rare. Good luck. TTC
