Chelyabinsk Meteorite - The Famous 2013 Catastrophic Russia Event

It started off as just an ordinary Friday morning on February 15, 2013 in the town of Chelyabinsk, Russia. That is until eyewitnesses began noticing a burning object streaming across the sky, leaving behind a trail of thick smoke, traveling over 42,500 mph, and at one point, superseding the brightness of the sun itself.

The object exploded, mid air, releasing, approximately 33 times the amount of energy of the atomic bomb at Hiroshima, ultimately creating mass panic within the town. Windows shattered - car alarms sounded for miles - and stones rained from the sky.

What you are viewing is a true artifact from that very morning - a fragment of the meteorite itself! These fragments have all been recovered within the first week of the event. They are fresh, and getting harder to find. You will receive one packet per purchase. Each packet contains approximately the same size/weight of the meteorite. Stand not included.

About Stony Meteorites: Stony meteorites are the most common meteorites, making up the majority of the meteorites discovered here on Earth.  They are divided into two groups: chondrites, which are some of the oldest primitive material in our entire solar system, and achondrites, which include meteorites that derived from our moon and Mars.
