Why this rock is probably not a meteorite:
The finder of this rock (we're looking at a polished, sawn face) noticed
that it looked somewhat like lunar meteorite Northwest
Africa 032. It does. Both are volcanic rocks.
Volcanism occurs on several planetary bodies, so we would expect the
resulting rocks to all look similar. Volcanic rocks are
very common on Earth.

What is it?
