More on the photos I posted earlier.

These are photos that I received today from Pennsylvania. Supposedly =
this was found on a farm years ago and has been kept in the family. =
They said it is extremely heavy for it's size. No word yet if it =
attracts a magnet. The puzzling thing is that it if it was a meteorite =
it looks like it has been sandblasted much like Oum Rokba which would be =
impossible in a wet environment like Pennsylvania.

Recent guesses are:

hematite nodule, jasper, water deposited specimen of Goethite(Fe3O4, =
Hematite


Here are the photos again:
