Curiosity has overcome me. I hope this curiosity wont kill the = delightful mystery behind this rock. It has helped fuel my interested = in astronomy and my dream vacation: meteorite hunting in a place like = Antarctica. (But after following a few of you links I am learning how = to do it here in Canada.) So if it's not a meteorite how do I find out what it is?
