Dave, In a career working frequently with basalts, I've never seen megascopic free metal. I also have never heard of the same. Basalts are, by nature, iron rich, but for all practical purposes, most of the iron is present in silicate phases. This thing isn't a basalt. I don't have any better ideas. I think it might be what the seller claims it to be----
