Yep, thats exactly what it is ...... Magnetite ! I just looked at some of that crappy looking stuff today from a guy set up at a flea market selling coins, etc. He said he found his meteorite in a field in Michigan. It looked exactly like the stuff the guy has on ebay. Upon close inspection...... the magnetite had way to many pits to be a meteorite. Its amazing how anybody can claim to have found a meteorite without confirmation from a lab or appropraite source and put it up on ebay.
Check out this rock I found looking for meteorites in cornfields today: http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/spacerox2001/detail?.dir=/58d3&.dnm=5216.jp g A magnet sticks to it. But , I wouldnt throw it on ebay. Bob Evans ----- Original Message ----- From: John K.

Notice there is no rust on the examples shown in the pictures...not even down in the pits and crevices. Cutting a small window in the specimen and doing a streak test would be more conclusive.
