I though it was just a type or iron ore, still not %100 sure but it does show all the characteristics of a meteorite.... i hope not cause I broke it into pieces and crushed a couple up to see if there was gold 😅 oops. Possible meteorite find. Screen12

Highly magnetic and when I broke it open it was full of iron and other metals, no silica what so ever, watching a meteorite identification video helped alot to, but I'm still only %50 sure it was... 😪 I still have some remaining chunks.

You could get a nickel test kit off Ebay and check for nickel content. Iron meteorites have a high nickel content.
