A meteorite that contains a significant amount of iron.
Iron meteorites, stony meteorites and stony-iron meteorites.
A pallasite meteorite is a type of stony-iron meteorite that contains olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel matrix. They are considered to be some of the most beautiful meteorites due to the contrasting colors and textures of the olivine and metal. Pallasites are believed to originate from the boundary between the mantle and core of differentiated asteroids.
Meteorites can be identified by characteristics such as a fusion crust, regmaglypts (thumbprint-like markings), and a high nickel-iron content. To appraise a meteorite, its rarity, type, size, and condition are considered, along with factors like historical significance and demand in the market. Consulting with a professional meteorite appraiser or a reputable meteorite dealer can help determine its value more accurately.
The density of iron meteorites typically ranges from 7.0 to 8.0 grams per cubic centimeter. This density is higher than most terrestrial rocks due to the high iron content in meteorites.

Iron or Nickel metals and Iron sulphides.
Both a cast iron skillet and a meteorite are made primarily of iron and have a similar composition. They also both have high iron content and can have a similar appearance.
An ataxite is a form of iron meteorite.
It depends on the type of meteorite. Stony meteorites are composed primarily of Iron and Magnesium silicates. Stony-Iron meteorites are composed primarily of silicates and Iron and Nickel metals. Iron Meteorites are composed primarily of Iron and Nickel metal and Iron sulphide.

Some of them have iron so they stick to a magnet.

By mining down, adventuring in caves, and if you are lucky iron can be found above ground in stoney areas or pools.
