Too light for hematite or iron. 20 grams at that size gives a density of
circa 2-3 g/cm2, spot on for light rocks. Iron ore lies around 5-6 and
pure iron at 7.87 g/cm2.
In the best (worst?) case it is made of a tektite, else it's just
another ordinary earth rock.

It looks like polished hematite to me. But I guess it could be almost
anything.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Odd Ebay auction
Hello again,
I just an email asking about this auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380117353508
The question is: Is this really carved out of an iron meteorite?
And if not, what is it?
Frankly I don't know. It does not even look metallic to me. Could one of
you answer that questions?
Thank you.
