Question about meteorite

[someuniverse]

Hi, I need help. I found something similar meteorite in the soil, approximate size is as coin for 20 cents, no smell, little magnetic, is not difficult. Brown area is decaying (when I touch or if it falls to the ground). In the middle where I cut, have shades as glitter. I have a photo. Sorry because I started a new topic and sorry for my bad english.

Thank you

Anyone? Please.

No need to apologise for bad English or starting a topic.

If it isn't really magnetic it probably leads it to not being a meteorite.

By the looks of it with the holes and crumbly nature of it I'd say it looks more like volcanic rock of some kind.

It looks very similar to some rocks I picked up on Santorini. Any geoligists around that might know?

Is it heavy or light?

Thanks for the reply!

It's light. And it's not very magnetic. So probably volcanic rocks. I've seen similar, but not magnetic.

Thank you very much

That's alright.

I think if it's light and not very magnetic then you can rule out meteorite for sure.

I couldn't say exactly what type of rock it is though, maybe someone else can.

As a meteorite collector, and I can tell you for sure that what you have is unfortunately not a meteorite. There has never been a meteorite found with the internal bubbles that your rock exhibits. A lot of rocks like that are slag from Victorian industrial operations. After years exposed to the elements, they look almost like natural rocks.

I have collected rocks from various continents and I would support Saleratus in his view that your rock is man-made.

Yes, this rocks have internal bubbles. Ok, now I know for next time. Thanks to all!
