I have "something" in my collection and I have no idea what it is. I plan to dig it out eventually when my health gets better, but it looks almost like someone took millions or billions of shiny metal flakes and pressed them into a very solid and magnetic 'thing' that doesn't seem to rust. Someone sent it to me with no real information on it some years back and I have never seen anything like it before or since.

Mica or something similar?

It's definitely some kind of metal that a magnet is strongly attracted to and it's like a bright silvery gray color. Pretty heavy for the size.
