Well, at least it's clear, everybody seems to agree ! :) (for Michael : the four pics are the same rock)
a chance I didn't pay much ! and a proof I have a lot to learn ! I have another
one that I will show you, but I guess it will be the same then as it was the same vendor... :)
So far I didn't want to break it but I guess I will crack it open just to make sure...
and to begin to learn, what are the characteristics (on those pictures) identifying with no doubt as an hematite ?
Thanks all for your quick answers !

Subject: [meteorite-list] New - Is this a meteorite ?
Hi all,
I recently bought meteorites during in Morocco. Those are my first ones
and
since I've read about the debate around NWA meteorites. I understand how
it's
damageable for science not to know the strewn field. I'll probably won't
buy the
next ones but rather hunt for them :).
I have pictures of the first one, would someone care to give me his
opinion?
From what I've seen on many sites, I think this is one but I would like confirmations.
You can have a look at it at the following url : http://www.astrosurf.com/xrr/Meteorite/meteorite.html
Next step would be to have it analysed properly but I've heard that it can
be
tough to convince the expert to do so. Any advices ?
Thanks in advance,
