This is another piece that belonged to my great aunt so it's definitely vintage. Most of her jewelry was large but this pendant is small maybe an inch or 1.5". Google lens is saying it's a meteorite but with the sharp edges, I'm disagreeing. However, anything was possible with my great aunt. I was leaning toward shungite but that feels off to me too so I thought I would ask the experts. Please know that the stone may appear darker in person as I did put a ring light around it to get the texture of the stone. The setting isn't marked that I could see. Thank you!

looks like Galena to me, but I have never seen it used as pendant, usually just as specimens for collectors

I never even thought of Galena. But who knows with my great aunt. Possibly she picked this up as “silver ore” and had it made into a pendant. Thank you so much.
