Working in the yard yesterday I came across this item. The first think I noticed is that it weighs about twice what I thought it would. Got a rare earth magnet out and it sticks to the rock somewhat. Hard to see in the photo but it has some rust looking spots. I am wondering it is could be a Iron Meteorite. Anyone ever seen one before. It is just a bit smaller than a golf ball. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/04/full-24125-291938-20210419_191109.jpg)

I am wondering it is could be a Iron Meteorite. Meteorites are smooth from the melting as they cut through the atmosphere. I think falmike is right about it being hematite.

Kryptonite for sure.
Seriously I'd guess a meteor.

Crack it open and see what it looks like. Just don't release any space virus. 
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Hematite could be correct. Says it is slightly magnetic like this one is. I will find someone near me to confirm.

An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.
