I found this with my white's QXT Pro near Tucson, AZ. It appears to have a fusion crust and is highly magnetic. Has anyone seen a meteorite that looked similar? I think that it could be a stoney, but I'm no expert. Anyone?

rub it on the underside of the toilet bowl cover. or a pc of tile (the underside)
if it makes a mark its probably not a meteor.
thats how i test my smaller specimens......
 

looks more volcanic to me, plus if it was a meteorite it would have fusion marks. the only real way to tell
is to cut it in half

good luck Sniffer
 

do that little test i told you about.
id still keep it no matter what ~ i hunted and corresponded with a professor from ohio state last year and they can test them for you.
i eliminated many of mine that way.
