Hello I would like some information please, I found a strange heavy rock this
weekend at a yard sale. I bought it because it was rather nice and I thought
it might be raw hematite. However later I thought it might be a meteorite
but although it does attract a magnet and passes every test (except chemical
analysis) I could find on the web, it also exhibits a very weak magnetic
field. I have never heard of this associated with a meteorite. Any ideas of
what it might be?

Thanks,
Ron
