What is it

[southernman13]

It’s half of something. It’s iron just looks too well formed inside to be natural but idk

 

[Son]

Believe it to be a natural form, like in iron rock.

Tenfo that’s what my son was told as well. It’s just so well formed inside it’s hard to believe lol

Is it magnetic?

 

[southernman13]

Haven’t actually tried that yet but I will. Pretty sure it’s iron ore. Well that’s iron or something lol

 

[southernman13]

No it’s not magnetic. I’da lost that bet fosho.

Could be magnetite, a natural iron ore that early native Americans modified for their use. I have a few pieces that resemble yours but can't determine what they were used for. Magnetite sometimes has enough iron to be attracted to a magnet but the attraction is not strong like a piece of modern iron or steel.
