Hi, I have had several people ask "Is it a meteorite, are you sure?" In my opinion it is.... It is highly attracted to a magnet - almost like a Mesosiderite - and what appear to be chondrules everywhere. I guess it could be terrestrial, but I have never seen a terrestrial rock like this either. I will have this stone with me and bring it for show and tell. If you see me just ask and I will show it to you!
