[QUOTE="Desertau, post: 9821116, member: 86775"]Did you use a stiff wire brush on an electric motor? im asking because your chunk of iron looks a little like the meteorite from Argentina. So if you cleaned it with the wire brush that could remove evidence of regmaglypts that look a little like a finger print. One more test polish a window to a very high shine and use an acidic product like wink rust stain remover will over time etch the surface at different rates for nickel vs iron revealing a Widmanstatten pattern if it were meteoritic.[/QUOTE]
