Peter,

Is this another picture of the same meteorite/stone picture that you posted on Dec 21, 2012?
Or is it a new find?

Okay Elton, I have added a higher res photo and I have added what I
received from sample testing at Actlabs for anyone who is curious.
Yes, I am a bit lost, but does it still seem meteoritic? It does, for
a desert-varnish idea seems to fall a bit flat, for one. I have been
fooled before, in numerous ways, however, who knows, perhaps more than
the next guy. Thank you everyone for your patience with me, my forays
into ignorance, and occasional laziness. I would love to learn more,
and any clues to help me pick up the trail, or other assistance will
at least be thanked. As for the paranoia/righteous-suspicion duality,
it would be great again, to see evidence that certain various things
are not indeed mislabelled as "paranoia", which happens to be a loaded
term in many situations, this included.

graciously,
