[Advance]

Hello everyone.

I m a new member here I hope who have a experience can help me to identified what this type of rock founded in Middle east exactly in Arabian Peninsula.

her Weight is 1.43kg.

Looks like chert, or flint.

I was thinking it looks like some type of slag.

[ynot]

I am in on this being slag.

Could it be a meteorite? 

 

There is only one side where the magnet is fused to which it is not attracted It is so solid I couldn't cut it

هل يمكن أن يكون نيزكًا؟ 

 

لا يوجد سوى جانب واحد حيث يتم دمج المغناطيس والذي لا ينجذب إليه فهو صلب للغاية لدرجة أنني لا أستطيع قطعه

I mean one side has the effect of melting, as in the picture

[ynot]

Not a meteorite.

Slag is a glassy material left over from smelting metals. It is as hard as glass.

I suspected it was slag, but when I used a device to test the hardness of the stones, the indication was that it was as hard as a diamond. The device was not accurate. I am sure it is not slag.

أعني أن أحد الجانبين له تأثير الذوبان، كما في الصورة

The magnet is not attracted, so it is not iron either, but the metal detector gives a metal signal

[Ludwigia]

Your devices are obviously misleading you. I'm convinced that this is slag. Please take it to your nearest Natural History Museum for analysis.

If there are volcanoes in the area, then there is a slight chance it could be obsidian.

Slag rock would be my guess.
