I found this in North Central Arkansas and was wondering if anyone might know what it Is?
Ty in advance.
 

Is it strongly magnetic? I'd guess magnetite in that case.
Another magnetic mineral is pyrrhotite, often has a bronze-like color and is only weakly magnetic.

No indication of pyrrhotite, probably magnetite with an interesting shape as magnetite forms in cubit to rhombic formations.... might be wrong but its an angular crystal :)

Without better pictures it looks meteorite-ish-like so if thats what you're hoping for go ahead n buy a bottle of DMG and see if it tests positive for nickel. It only costs around 20 bucks.

Not very familiar with meteorites but this isn't likely to be a meteorite from my limited experience.

Not really hoping for anything in particular but when the mood strikes to spend 20 bucks , I may pick some of that up.
