So this is what I have: 1. It's well worn and shows some signs of oxidation. 2. It's heavier than other rocks it's size. 3. A magnet is strongly drawn to it. 4. It seems to exhibit a weak magnetic field but I only noticed this after subjecting it to a strong magnet, in other words it might have resulted from that contact as it is very weak. I.e. (Only able to attract small pins and small paper clip) If anyone would like to see a picture of it let me know I'll try to get some good shots of it today. Next I will have a nickel test performed on it, in the meantime are there any other tests that I can do myself? Thanks, Ron --part1_7f.2759eb0e.2a3650c1_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff"><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2>Ok I performed a tile test on my suspect rock and it showed a grayish silver streak on the tile so I don't think it's hematite.
