Rob in Singapore Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Dear Forum, During the clearing of a storage unit I came across this rock. Before I toss it at the garbage I am curious why people keep this rock paper weight for so long ? Is it something out of the ordinary as to me it looks like a rock ? Size is 20cm x 25cm x 8cm approximately with a weight of a bit under 7kg. Approximate density is 1.8g/cm3 so not heavy enough to be a meteorite I guess ? Would be appreciated if someone could have a look at the reddish stone which does not attract a magnate by the way. Thanks so much for your advise.

Morlock Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) It looks volcanic in nature so my guess is basalt. Definitely not a meteorite. Who knows why someone kept it? Doesn't have any value. Maybe they used it for a doorstop or something. Edited December 7, 2021 by Morlock 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
