meteorite from Taouz ?

This afternoon a friend ask me help for identify a stone that was brought from Morocco a few time ago. To me it looks like a meteorite, but as I know almost nothing about these fascinating rocks from space, I came here and I ask for your opinion. Thank you very much for your comment.

I can provide this data:
Location: Taouz, Morocco
Purchase Date: Summer 2010
Density: ± 6-7
Measures: 18 x 16 x 8 cm.
Weight: 4.5 Kg
Magnetic: no
No bubbles but a few small holes (see photos).
Do not let trace on paper.

Here are the pictures:

Looks like a wind abraded hematite concretion. Check whether it leaves a dark red-brown mark when rubbed on a piece of broken porcelain. If not, it might be some type of glassy slag.

Thanks Alfredo, you are fast! I had no time to post all pictures!

No, it not leaves a dark red-brown mark when rubbed on a piece of broken porcelain. Just a white scratch, Is harder than porcelain.

Hello Jose,
Better check the density again - 6 would be quite heavy for something so hard. Almost certainly something synthetic.
Cheers,

Looks more like a slag than anything else.

I made a mistake when weighting the piece with a personal scale: the right weight is 4055 g and volume is exactly 1000 cm3 then density is 4, not 6 - 7 as I said at the beginning, very sorry.
Anyway my question is answered: is not a meteorite but a slag or, in the best case, a hematite or goethite aggregate.
My friend will be happy: he loves the fakes! he has an incredible collection of fake minerals from Morocco! Thanks to all for your help.
