I can not identify what your unknown IS, but it is NOT a meteorite.

Looks like hematite, you can confirm by doing a streak test.

Hematite is colored black to steel or silver-gray, brown to reddish brown, or red. It is mined as the main ore of iron. Varieties include kidney ore, martite (pseudomorphs after magnetite), iron rose and specularite (specular hematite). While the forms of hematite vary, they all have a rust-red streak.
