Interesting . I seen something similar at a Chinese Rock and Mineral Show. It had the blackish mineral veins on a cut slab. I forget the name, too long ago. Why are the contraction cracks on the so-called fusion crust so sparse, so few . I get nervous around unclassified achondrites, but hey, I can see why you might think it's asteroidal. Good Luck and Thanx . 0583 |

looks like wishful thinking ...the coating/surface is less convincing than the cut texture, which is cool...or in this case "Mellow Yellow" |

The internal veining is certainly similar to what I've seen in many meteorites, but the white-to-clear inclusions look like quartz and the exterior surface doesn't appear to have the right texture. Hope I'm wrong! |

Do nickel test to check |

If it is a real meteorite, my wild guess would be: an olivine-rich, severely shock-melted diogenite! |

I thought that this was a Meteorite picture of the day site, not a "Is this a meteorite?" picture of the day. Are we really that short of contributions? If so, I will be sure to upload a bunch if needed.

No fusion crust, exterior looks wrong |

Does not look like any meteorite I have ever seen, outside interesting but inside no |

looks like impact breccia |

The interior just does not look right |

Don't see crust or thumbprints looks terrestrial but an interesting stone |

Looks like serpentinite |

This rock is a meteorite probably from the achondrite group. I think it came from one of the asteroids. |

i voted Not a meteorite and I saw the current Vote total increased by 2 points and the Not a meteorite still on zero!!!! |

I voted no, it told me I voted yes.
"shattered minerals" look more like a weathered ultramafic rock like a pyroxenite. I see no typical shock/melt veins. White areas do not look like glass. Look like hydrothermally deposited minerals.

doesn't look like fusion crust, "glass" vein looks more like quartz or some other hydrothermal. strange vein coursing through from 5 to 10 o'clock also reminds me of some fractured crushed igneous rock from a terrestrial faultline some where. This is just my guess photos are NO way to verify meteorites reliably. |

The white veins look like quartz. |
