It’s a carbonaceous chondrite - a dark stony material that retains unaltered chemistry from the formation of our Solar System 4.6 billion years ago, and, as such, could give us fresh insights on how the planets came into being.
No, no, wait, just a piece of asphalt. Sorry. Common mistake. Nothing to see hear.

They "donated" it to the Science Museum?
Here they have a gorgeous windfall, better than the national lottery land on their driveway and they throw the money they could have made right put of the window?
The science guys have huge money available from the government ready for just such an investment. Even with the UK's usurious taxes, they'd have made a bundle.
