I’m 99% sure this is a meteorite. It is heavy for its size, attracts magnets, and looks like other meteorites I’ve seen. It is the third candidate for the primary (tallest) branch on the Wizard Styx 2.0.
The second ball is actually about 1/3 larger than the first one. It also has viewer flaws which explains the much less interesting picture. They are both candidates for the primary (tallest) branch on the Wizard Styx 2.0.
The header is a picture of the top of the 'Dance Styx' which was carved to be the prize in a raffle at the 2008 Annual Ball and Workshop sponsered by the Sacramento Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. You'll find a link to the Branch's blog below.
