[meteorite-list] What is this?

Cool. Its a standard textbook like slag. Here in germany at some locations are thousands of such pieces in all sizes and colors from brown to green in all intensitys (until almost pure blackness, often bluish due microinclusions). 
How stupid must someone be to put such a thing into the news as space rock?
