Silver ore? meteorite shard?

So this rang up just as silver would. It took all my might to snap a piece off to see the inside. It’s 30 grams on the scale. It has that high tone silver would have you you drop it. I’ve never found anything like it. I’m 100% sure it’s not lead. Given how hard it is. The outside looks like rock. I added a video so you all can hear the sound it makes when hit together.

What you have is a piece of Zinc. The crystal look is a giveaway.
Magnesium is another possibility.

It's a big what?

Yeah I was going to say it looks like some melted cast aluminum.

Yeah I was going to say it looks like some melted cast aluminum.It’s pretty heavy to be aluminum and does not have the traditional melted aluminum look.

It’s a big hunk. It’s just over 30 grams on the scale.

That's 1 ounce. Light actually.
I have dealt in nonferrous metals for decades. Owned a scrap yard for 13yrs.
Just going on what I see in the break.

Put some vinegar on the shiny spot. If it bubbles it's magnesium.

Thanks pepperj I never knew that little trick. It sure is pretty when it Burns!

If I submerge the small pics entirely into vinegar that should would I’m going to do that now.

I posted this video appears to be bubbling.
