Hard to tell by the pictures but looks like quartz with some iron in it. Need better pictures

Hi,
Is it magnetic?, how big is it?
I'm wondering (I'm no expert here....) as you say it looks "burnt" on the outside, and the crystals inside might be "olivine" ........ might it be a meteorite?
I'm sure someone with more knowledge will be along to help.........

pretty hard to say from the pictures, looks like quartz grains in the micrograph but sometimes this is just sand cemented to the surface, not uncommon with nwa stones, the deeper material looks interesting. we rely on the nickel test for preliminary screening of meteorites, if you are not getting a response send a quarter size piece to the address on our web page. thanks for posting, let us know what you find, best wishes, don

It does not look like any meteorite I've ever seen before.

Really?

I thought (bearing in mind the bad photo) it bore some similarities....

I have never seen a stoney meteorite with botryoidal features.

Agreed, but I'm not so sure it is bearing in mind the poor photo - weathering perhaps?
