Based on what I can see in your rather blurry pics, yes I would. Rocks that look like that are commonplace in some areas of outback Australia and they aren't of meteoritic origin.
So what are these "tests" that you say it has passed? And if you're so confident, what did you ask, "whats this"?

Definitely require some clearer shots if possible before saying nay or yay, some clear close-ups wouldn't astray either. I gather this was found in the US.?

Certainly need more focus mate. Place an object next to it in the photo so we can refence its size too.
How magnetic is it? Does a magnet stick solid to it or just hangs with magnetic force

most cameras have timers, prop up the phone and rock untill you have a good focus and hit the timer.
modern phones can be voice activated for taking selfies so once it's propped up you wont have to touch it again
sucks about the stroke dude.
thank you well it was a door stopper for many years and has been in my family for years and my friend said if that was magnetic and i said it is very strong in fact then said lets try thee tests they passed and so we took it to a rock show in quartzsite az where the vendors said yes it was but to make sure they would have it tested and pay the cost for me to test and the one guy was so excited he asked me what it would take for me to walk away from it today and leave no ???s asked. I laughed and said 50 dollars he smiled and i laughed again .. he told me that if this passes test i would be super happy and that he is certain that it is what he suspects now i am not sure what avenue to to take to sell it , i do have a appt with a collector in feb but still don't know much about how to value it and would love as much input as possible. again thank you for all the replies
Yep might as well put it back at the door and use it for the door stop and not think about it.
