Abstract
I HOLD in my hand a stone that weighs about two and a half pounds. Over a part of its surface is a thin black crust. A part of its corners are cracked off, showing a gray interior, and on looking closer you see small points of iron all through it. It is heavy—about one half heavier than granite, or marble, or sandstone. Altogether it is a very curious stone, totally unlike any of our rocks.
