I believe your rock is a combination of Ilmenite (FeTiO3) and Hematite (Fe2O3) with some other trace minerals. These two minerals commonly occur together. Ilmenite is mined as a major source of Titanium. (Ref: Manual of Mineralogy, 19th Ed, Hurlbut and Klein)

could it possibly be vanadium?

I think if aliens do exist Vanadium would be used as instantly rechargeable battery's and vanadium is very very abundant on earth.

Considering that the major elements as listed in the analysis are Fe and Ti, with only a trace amount of V, I don't think it is Vanadinite.

I dont think it is its to heavy and looks to good to be a ferro man made rock ithink if you could see this in person and hold it you would have a different opinion it has a texture a lot different to ferro titanium it has a similar properties but has copper calcium lead and .02 % unknown phases could not be identified I will however send the properties list to a manufacturer and see what they say it has a flat bottom which has not been cut it has like triangle shape dents and lots of grooves on the bottom the texture on the backside is different than the sides like a wind draft I dont think it could be man made like this and were it was found was in black mud
