A friend obtained this rock from an old neighbor after he passed away. When he was alive he kept it outside in his rock garden and told her "it came from the sky", I am not so sure about that but since nobody can identify it I am curious as to what it really is.
I am attaching pictures of the measurements = 8" long - 5 1/2" across - 16" around - weighs 20 pounds. When looking at the pictures remember it has been outside in a rock garden for years. I do not have any clue where it came from; he lived in the Portland Oregon Metro area (Molalla).
It isn't magnetic except for the little shavings off it does stick to a magnet but the big rock doesn't hold a magnet. We broke off a piece to see what it looks like inside, it's very sparkly and silvery inside, also very hard and sharp. It's hard but you can crush it into small granules, If you look close up in the pictures you can see little spots of color. We don't think it's a metal, possibly a mineral It does not set off a metal detector.
