    It’s a conglomerate containing quartz not a meteorite.

    In Here are 3 meteorites on the left an L4 chondrite from Arizona USA, the far right is an iron nickel from Argentina and the small one front center another iron nickel from China.

    most meteorites have distinguishing characteristics fusion crust, thermal shock fractures, rusty appearance, magnetic attraction, chondrules and iron nickel threads visible when you open a window these threads are evident in most all chondrites and form in a zero gravity type environment but are rarely seen in terrestrial stones so are a good indicator. The single Arizona meteorite displays these silvery inclusions.
    a couple things most all meteorites don’t have are vesicles and quartz.
