Obviously, it's a meteorite fragment that landed in your back yard, thankfully enough, and not through your kitchen whilst you were fixin' something to eat.

At first I was thinking obsidian except for that polished side... smooth obsidian is usually from cracking it not polishing, and I don't remember it having a grain to speak of.

I'll give credit to Cody as well, it's what I was thinking to start, but I was also gonna go with the generic answer.
I've got some marring on my wheels from curb rash that looks similar. Love the wheels, but I'm going to love getting new ones even better...now what to go with
have any pics of said broken wheel?

Ok I'll give you guys the background story.... so I was 18 typical stupid teenager... had the brand new supercharged Saleen and wanted to show off so here i go take traction control off... (it had rained earlier that day) and floor it to take a right turn... end up doing a complete 180 and hoping up onto the curb with my front end literally half a foot from a city wide transistor.. my wheel hit the curb so hard that it literally shattered... when i got out of the car i saw that big chunk on the ground and picked it up and I have always had it with me (usually in my purse) whenever I drive... to remind me dont be stupid....
this was a hard but good lessons to go through... It made me step back and actually learn about what mods I am putting on the car and what they actually do instead of saying of I think that would be cool he has that.
I actually did not drive for a while i wasnt until i fully understood what i had under the hood.. spent all my time learning about the engine the supercharger the x pipe i had on the the 4.10 gears I had (i took her to the track when I was more knowledgeable)
And that made me just continue to keep learning about car and the things we do to them to make them more powerful, prettier and just basically how to take car of a muscle car..
I keep that piece to also remind me that there always will be idiodts out there on the road like i once was and to always be careful and aware of the cars around you.. and to just let the ricebanger or camero that comes up beside you and reves thier engine go cause they might be one of those people just trying to show off and eventually end up getting hurt.
I was thankful that no one got hurt in that accident and basically no other real damage then a bent axle and order a new side squirt for the car.
but I have had that piece of chrome wheel with me now for almost 10 years..
its hilarious at airport security sometimes... they are like WTF... but i guess they are like well she cant kill anyone with this...
thank you guys for listening to my story...
