My dad found this rock along an old creek bed in northeast Ohio years ago. He said he grabbed it because it didn’t look like any of the other ones around it.
We found the best groove and took a chisel and hammer to it and after a couple of hits it broke in two.
Each piece is about the size of computer mouse with a total weight of 866 grams.
The outside is mostly shiny with a few dull spots. Tried the streak test but it doesn’t leave one. It’s very dense and not brittle at all.
The brownish gold color is concentrated to a certain area but it looks like there are thin bands throughout. You can see larger white spots inside that look almost smudged.
It doesn’t respond to a magnet but under a microscope it looks metallic. Theres also a tiny little blue speck I found when my camera picked it up.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Somewhere I can get it tested?

No value.
