It looks smooth , molten on the outside, with a darker color inside. I was thinking some kind of flint or meteor. No response to magnets, so no iron.

@bech,
The striations at the top are odd. The smoothness could be just stream polishing, although it looks almost too shiny for that. Could it be a man-made object which has been partially melted?

@bech,
It does look like melted. Is it heavy?

@bech,
It has some lines that resemble sedimentary rocks, but it does look metallic to me. It could be a human made object. http://meteorites.wustl.edu/id/z_metal.jpg

@bech,
Thank you for your suggestions!

Some more details. I found this 20 years ago in a small landslide on a slope, in a forest in Norway.

It feels like a rock. The weight is 40grams.

Pictures might lie a bit, it is darker than in pictures. Ill borrow a camera and take new ones.

@bech,
Take the pictures with more light, outdoors, they are too dark. You live in a country with three meteorite impact craters, I have seen in the database, do you live near these sites: Gardnos, Mjolnir, Ritland? I envy you. You could find stones related to the impact event near these sites.
