Grab yourself a rare earth magnet and if it sticks easily to it thats your first clue. When people say is it magnetic, they usually mean is it attracted to magnets. Was it originally shiney like that? Of all the meteroites i have seen most are rusty looking rocks and only shine up after A good cleaning, or they have a black crusty layer called a fussion crust if it had fallen recently.. But if it is an iron meteorite it will jump off the table to get to that rare earth magnet.
Good luck but it does look a bit like pyrite.
