Need some help ID'ing interesting rocks
Lord Kinbote Offer Upgrade User ID: 34713925 United States 11/19/2013 06:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Need some help ID'ing interesting rocks A few years back I was visiting my Mother south of San Antonio, TX and found these rocks in her backyard (yard being a stretch its barren as fuck) and happened upon these two rocks that stood out from all the others strewn about on the ground. My first thought was meteoroid fragments but they are not magnetic. They leave a reddish brown streak and are quite heavy for their size. Here's some pics of them.

Maybe a product of a ruptured mold box or the person doing the casting just wasn't happy with the result and broke it up.

I think it's a type of haematite. It feels very heavy for its size. [link to meteorite-identification.com] K
