<excerpt> 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,

</smaller></fontfamily>What do you mean? That the rock deviates a
compass? Once you have "treated" it with a magnet most meteorites as
well as various terrestrial rocks, slags, etc. do deviate a compass
because they have acquired a large remanence by exposure to the magnet
stray field. Please describe more precisely your "magnetic experiment"
and a more precise answer can be formulated!


Cheers
