Is it magnetic ?
 

Welcome to Tnet.

If it were a meteorite, with that appearance it would be strongly magnetic, not 'slightly magnetic'. Try a streak test on the unglazed side of a ceramic tile. That might give us more clues to what it is.
 

Looks promising!

Promising for what?

The second picture in post #6 looks like hematite. If so, it will streak brownish-red though to blood-red. Hematite itself is not magnetic, but often has small amounts of magnetite as a secondary mineral and may therefore show weak attraction to a magnet.

Highly magnetic
