Could check with a natural history museum.
Is it Magnetic? What are the measurements? Put a Quarter next to it for reference. http://meteorites.asu.edu/

Perfect characteristics of a meteorite you have there check it with a magnet.

And yes it is attracted to a magnet, I own 2 meteorites that I bought and I'm pretty sure this is a chondrite, but I just wanted other oppinions. I would do a nickle test but I don't own one.
Take it to a verified expert, you only gettin guesses from Forum members looking at a few pictures. No way to be certain unless it is properly tested.
KT's 2 cents worth!

I would say... it could be.
I see thumb printing. Stick a magnet to it. Do a scratch test as well (you can use the underside of a porcelain toilet tank lid). Scratch VIGOROUSLY, It shouldn't leave much of a mark.
Go here for some various home tests:
