there is a possibility that it is a meteorite because usually a meteorite contains high concentration of iron. but it need further test for verification. i read in the internet before that meteorite could be sell to a collector but i don't know what are there system of pricing the item sir.

If its a meteorite rock fragment (w/c it kinda looks like), its definitely worth something. Scientists would pay a good price for that fragment. Better have it assayed to be sure ;)

SJ, some of the external characteristics of a meteorite are very present in your find such as:
1. fusion crust or glazed
2. squarnish, rounded edges
Try to check if its magnetic because most meteorites are.
Also, try this link to help you identify your find (& sell if you want)

Gud luck ;)
