Hello everyone,

I found this hunk of rock and from my amaturish research I think it's a brecia of various quartz, muscovite and maybe pyrite and sulfides (black stuff?) and was ejected from a meteorite impact. Specimen was located along the lakeshore of Lake Winnipeg along with another identical specimen smaller in size in a different location nearby.

I know a fresh cross section would be helpful but I dont want to damage the pieces as I only have two.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

It looks like feldspar granite to me. Notice the mica flakes? They shouldn't be there if this stone was formed by a meteor strike.

Muscovite is a type of Mica so yes I did notice those but did not know that they are not known to be found in ejecta. Good to know now. Thanks for the response.
