Well, at least it's clear, everybody seems to agree ! :) (for Michael : the four 
pics are the same rock)

a chance I didn't pay much ! and a proof I have a lot to learn ! I have another
one that I will show you, but I guess it will be the same then as it was the 
same vendor... :)

So far I didn't want to break it but I guess I will crack it open just to make 
sure...

and to begin to learn, what are the characteristics (on those pictures)
identifying with no doubt as an hematite ?

Thanks all for your quick answers !
