Found this a few days ago. It is magnetic and passed the allerest test for nickel. It leaves a light streak that is almost invisable. It is very rusty and seems to be mostly metal. I filed and sanded so U can see inside.
I have some other rocks to look at will post soon.
Any way to slice these rocks cheap ? I have a table saw. Can I use a special blade on it to cut ?

Thanks Jerry

From the pics, it's very hard to tell because they're blurry. Don't know what the "allerest test for nickel" is can you explain please? Don't see the window in the pics.

I wouldn't cut it if I were you unless you really know what your doing.

I guess some people are alergic to nickel. There is a simple test kit you can buy. Most meteorites are of the nickel/iron type, so it can rule out a lot of meteorwrongs. I had a link to a place to buy it, but danged if I can find it.
