how do you tell if a rock is a space rock?
At least measure its density, common earth rocks you can actually find on the crust have a lot of lightweight oxides

Like like pyrite? You can try hitting with a small iron bar and see if you get sparks.

Whatever you do, DO NOT send it to any academic or expert to verify it. If it's real, they will keep it. They won't send it back.

Fact. My local space rock study institute has kept all the space rocks I have brought to them for verification.

Is that a blob of quartz on the left corner? If so, it's not a meteorite.

looks like chalcopyrite to me, seen a lot of that so im preety confident. do you live in a "rocky" area with any mining in general/ copper mining?

If it is a space rock it didn't just get there. It takes time on earth to develop that thin iridescent oxide layer

This.
You the mass (measure before wetting the rock) and the volume, can be obtained by placing the rock gently inside a large measuring vessel like a huge pyrex or something if you have that available. Place a known amount of water inside that you can estimate will completely cover the rock... then measure the new volume.
Going to be fun getting accuracy with something that size.

It's a lump of oxidising chalcopyrite - copper ore.

Geologist here. I'm going to have to agree with the thread, looks like chalcopyrite. That means it's mostly iron and sulfur with some copper in it. I'm pretty sure I even see the blocky cuboids associated with the mineral although it's hard to tell with these images. Another possibility is mica, in this case we don't see the sheets and layering because we have a microcrystalline sample but this seems unlikely although it can't be ruled out.

For a space rock we should expect scoring from reentry to be visible on the rock. Parts of it should look burned and partially melted and I'm not seeing any of that. Rather, what I'm seeing is crystal formation from a rock solidifying out of magmatic melt, in this case it cooled somewhat quickly and didn't allow the minerals time to grow. Still, you've got a pretty great sample there. Looks great.

OP here. Working on getting a scale to measure density this week.

it would have oxidize real fast by being on fire as a meteor, this could also explain the presence of quartz, which is formed in high temperatrues

So my man the space rock is just chilling, minding his own business when he starts to feel a bit warmer on his left side then, BOOM!, out of nowhere this solid af atmosphere comes and sucker punches him.
Damn. That's cold.
