rushed forward on this one. If it is an iron meteorite then it should be
easy to see
It should be iron ore, hematite or magnetite, not iron or iron alloy.
The banding is produced by tectonic motions and it's called folding.
I visited a swedish mine this summer where there were a lot of
banded iron ore. To get a piece off the big rock below took a lot
of work but it's a perfect way
Is it something like the upper left condrules in these pictures?

Don't know what it is but it was fun to find it in my first meteorite.
An unknown NWA, probably NWA 869.
