    Rock Identification Help

    Thank you all for the replies! This has been very interesting and informative. Based off of that website, it seems pretty unlikely that this is a meteorite, but I handed it off to a friend in uni so hopefully I will have an answer soon.

    Rock Identification Help

    Is there a way to identify it without cutting into it? I'd rather not damage it. I'm not sure if you saw, but it is weakly attracted to a magnet if that's significant

    Rock Identification Help

    Unfortunately, there were no fibers to be seen. I did take a look at what you sent, and my stone doesn't look like either of them.

I don't think it would be great for that, but I've never rubbed hide or ground grain so I wouldn't know. Are these stones usually...

    Rock Identification Help

    Hey guys, I've had this rock for years and had always wondered what it actually was. I know that I found it by a river in Vancouver, Canada, but I don't remember the exact location. I thought it may just be a chunk of iron but the outside just looks like a normal rock. Any ideas?
