Hi all:
   
  I'm sticking to my original vote.
   
  It is indeed a meteorite.
   
  If anyone has seen it - it would be really interesting to get their feedback on its appearance
   
  More tests would be good; perhaps the owners are hesitant; people get funny when the come across items that could be of great value.
