Dear Michael;
No, not even close.  I find this along the  many miles of the main line 
of the Union Pacific Railroad.  As a child, we found it in Michigan 
along the tracks of the Ann Arbor  and Soo Line Railroads.  It is the 
bottom scum off of large smelters and makes perfect cross tie 
ballast...aka, the stuff the ties are settled into on a rail road line. 
 There is iron in it, and a whole list of metals that if were in your 
drinking water would make you very ill in your liver.
Nice meteorwrong, if a bit small.    Did he find it in Nevada, or locate 
it three miles away with some buck rogers detector?
Best,
Dave F
