It resembles a very weathered specimen of the type of vesiculated basalt with olivine that is fairly common out here in HI. Best!

Hi, Phil, It greatly resembles a chunk of fossilized coral I once had...

[meteorite-list] Blue Meteorite(Wrong)
A farmer found this in his field and brought it in today. A University of Notre Dame geologist said it contained plagioclase, olivine and possibly iron. He said it probably is not a meteorite and I concur with his opinion. I told the farmer I would post the pics on the metlist for other opinions. It weakly attracts a strong magnet. It's obviously nothing like the Blue Chondrite, NWA 1941, and it's not Sonny's Blue Eagle, so whadizzit? I have no idea.
