Hi Michael

It's pretty difficult to analyze a small pebble like that. 5 mm does not
leave much room for a slice or even to see any internal structures. The
only thing is to grind one side and hope there is at least one nice
chondrule..... But still, it's a nice small one.

Have you found any confirmed meteorites with your magnets?

Regards

Lasse
