Jeff, all,
I fully agree with Jason. This is a cluster of pyrite crystals, probably (partly) transformed (oxidyzed) into "limonite" (a partial pseudomorph), hence the color.
Clusters like that one are common on our mineral collections. They can be sometimes showy and thus quite appreciated.
But this is definitely a meteorwrong.
Wishes,
Zelimir

G'day List,
I had this photo sent to me which is obviously a meteor-wrong but does anyone know what type of mineral/rock this is?
