Welcome to Tnet.

Sorry, but I don't see anything which suggests your specimen is a carbonaceous chondrite (or any other kind of meteorite).

But the specific gravity of sandstone is between 2.66 and 2.72 not a whopping 3.6 which is ironically the density of....you guessed it. A Carbonaceous Chondrite.

You could always present the rock to a qualified lab for authentication.
