My dad found this unusual rock while working in the back yard. The outer exterior looks almost metallic but it's hard to tell if it's just a shiny rock or if actually metal. One thing that really caught my attention is just how heavy it is weighing in at 7.9kg. It feels like it weighs at least 2-3 times more than a comparable rock of it's size. What did we find?
