OK, I have yet another try of posting photos, so this should finally work.� The following stone, basically teardrop shaped, 1 cm X 1 cm X 0.6 cm, or 1 cm X 0.6 cm X 0.6 cm depending how you measure, weighing in the neighborhood of 1 g was found by me in a very desertic area, in a water runoff that probably gets rained on once a year.� It sticks to my OEM poor quality speaker magnet, and jumps up to a stronger magnet with a click.� The surface has a distinctly rusty coating, though it appears that a blackened layer may be under.� It initially leaves a light rust colored streak on the back of a ceramic tile but that seems to stop completely as the outer oxidation is removed.� I took it to the side of the cutting surface of a home ceramic tile cutting wheel to make a window, which was crude, so I smoothed with sandpaper.� Neither before or after the sanding was I able to see any green crystalline evidence, but the sanding brought out shiny metal, intersperced in a gray matrix.� Some rust remains on the window as I didn't want to shave the pebble away.� Whether there are chondrules in the face I don't know, there appear darker spots, and I'd appreciate it if the list can tell me if they see fusion crust, which I think I see, but...I have no reference collectings and resident experts around.� I am pretty convinced that this one (of my 17 candidates is a meteorite, but I could be biased.� 15 of the other 16 are already eliminated.� Please give me a hand on this one.� All pictures are of the same stone, at the limit of my digital camera resolution.� The true color is in between the bright and shadow shot in Met-1.� Is it?  Thanks!
