Greetings Mohamed, > If you like please check out my nice new finds of > (non)meteo(rite/wrong) or whatever-they-are:
They are all terrestrial rocks. > this looks like basalt but it is more than 50% pure metal: > http://pages.britishlibrary.net/mhy10/meteor/nkl.htm That's not clear from the images. That orange part is certainly not elemental metal, nor is the black part. That covers more than 90% of the rock. > new chondrites: > http://pages.britishlibrary.net/mhy10/meteor/chnd3.htm I previously informed you (off-list) that those circular cavities are gas holes, some later filled with either silicious or calcareous material. You're certainly welcome to ask the list for a second opinion. Others here with more geology or mineralogy experience could perhaps give you a more reliable assessment of the dark host rock and its lighter-colored, calcite-like inclusions. But one thing is absolutely certain -- it's not a meteorite. Keep trying. Again, I urge you to concentrate on smaller specimens. Your odds of finding a meteorite improve dramatically if you stick to rocks weighing less than a kilogram, and better still if they way less than a pound.
