But you will have to bring it to a University to be sure.

I used to collect rocks and minerals before I got into MD'ing and I have a fragment of iron meteorite I picked up when I was down in Odesa Texas (not rare) as well as a few Tektites in a box somewhere.

If it is a meteorite, then it sounds like it might be a stony/iron. Does it have a fusion crust? Meteorites containing metal are Iron/Nickel so I don't know what it means that it rang close to silver. Perhaps an expert will be able to tell you for sure Bob.

I hope it turns out to be real because they fetch big $$$.

Hi James: I'm Kevin from Ipswich. Maybe we can get together someday for some exploring. Where are you from?
