First you would be hard pressed to find a small meteorite at all let alone twenty two and it is even more rare to find one remotely close to being spherical. Wood does not produce enough heat in itself to make iron hot enough to forge with rock one would need a furnace like structure to keep the radiation focused in a small area. And if magic rocks fell from the sky than I believe they would have tried to worship it and not change it.
