Hello Aleksandr!

This seems to be a typical terrestrial igneous rock called: porphyry. Have a
look to the link below to compare it by your own. See how colorful they can
be also.

The fact, that it is poorly magnetic can be explained very easily. This rock
contains the mineral magnetite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite

I told you already in private, that it seems, that you look for meteorites
at the wrong place. Your field pictures clearly show a lot of gravel. It's
impossible to generate gravel without moved water (melting glacier or river
for example). So you should expect a lot of rocks you won't find nearby
cause the have been transported a bigger distance.

Best wishes!

Ingo

Thanks for the answer!
Stone poorly magnetic.
Has made more detailed photos if it is necessary to grind the sample -
tell to me, to a smog it to make in one week.

Look here, please:
