It sure does look like it, of course I had to goooogle it because I have no idea what it is..

I'll see if I can get some pictures if the sun ever comes out again before the leaves fall..

Meteorites, coins, firearms, flashlights, folding and fixed-blade knives. There's an overabundance of old electronics littering my home, too.

Where do you find meteorites?

Online, gem and mineral shows, and science-related stores. There used to be a place near me called World of Science (out of business now, unfortunately) and they often had lots of good stuff without realizing it. I bought a beautiful Allende meteorite (16.8 grams) with 90% fusion crust for $12. Going rate is about $350-$400. I also got a nice Tatahouine fragment for $0.11 (yes, eleven cents). That should have brought them $30 easily. It's no mystery why they're out of business....

Meteorite hunting interests me, but it's not practical in the northeast. Deterioration due to weather extremes makes it awfully difficult to find them on the ground.
