rinke11 2 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Quote Found a super smooth black stone with white spots it is magnetic and heavier then you would think for a stone this size the first 2 pictures the stone is made wet with water what kind of stone/meteorite is this?

DarkSilicate 24 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Volcanic in origin would be my guess. Maybe volcanic-igneous. Basalt possibly. Don't see anything on the outside that would indicate meteorite. As in fusion crust or other signs of ablation. Edited March 5 by DarkSilicate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
d_day 357 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Looks like a piece of basalt or a piece of dacite from an intrusive dike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
