As I myself was out hunting meteorites today, I had another thought about your specimen Mike. The nickel content of the free metal might be so high it makes the specimen less attractive to a magnet.

Certainly an enigma which is probably going to need lab work to resolve why it is so atypical.

Good Luck in finding an answer
