The British and Irish Meteorite Society

Hi
I am brand new to Meteorites, however I am a Gem collector and so I have some knowledge of Geology.
I found this piece in Beverly, East Yorkshire.
Best dimensions I can offer are; 15x21x12 centimetres, dark Grey in colour and highly attracted to magnets. The weight is around 5.400 grams.it also has a 'golden schiller' and presents itself as almost reflective. I also under x25 magnification saw what I would describe as tiny Olivine Crystals.
I will not bombard you with irrelevant information, however I will answer any questions, I hope this helps.
Thank you so much for any help you can give.

I would say it's terrestrial...no real characteristics of being a meteorite...the vesicles or vugs are very unlikely to be found in meteorites...no typical regmaglypts or crust evident. Are there any signs of Nickel iron flecks anywhere in the matrix?

Please i need help found this piece few days ago , ,weights something about 15 kg mabe a lille more , dimetions about 12" x 9" x 4" . It is a solid piece of heavy metal , reacts to magnet perfectelly , little bit of rust around it ,it has something black stuck to it at the bottom what looks like a melted sand , please i need help in identify it .

Looks like a piece of slag from a foundry. 99% sure not a meteorite. What were the find details? Have you tested for nickel?

I would agree with Luther...seems to have signs of vesicles.
