New Members Advance Posted July 20 Author New Members Share Posted July 20 Could it be a meteorite? There is only one side where the magnet is fused to which it is not attracted It is so solid I couldn't cut it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Not a meteorite. Slag is a glassy material left over from smelting metals. It is as hard as glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Advance Posted July 20 Author New Members Share Posted July 20 I suspected it was slag, but when I used a device to test the hardness of the stones, the indication was that it was as hard as a diamond. The device was not accurate. I am sure it is not slag. 6 hours ago, Advance said: هل يمكن أن يكون نيزكًا؟ لا يوجد سوى جزء واحد حيث يتم دمج المغناطيس والذي لا ينجذب إليه فهو شديد الانهيار الشديد لانقطاعه أعني أن أحد الجانبين له تأثير الذوبان، كما في الصورة Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members Advance Posted July 20 Author New Members Share Posted July 20 The magnet is not attracted, so it is not iron either, but the metal detector gives a metal signal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Your devices are obviously misleading you. I'm convinced that this is slag. Please take it to your nearest Natural History Museum for analysis.

ynot Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 If there are volcanoes in the area, then there is a slight chance it could be obsidian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
