The Chelyabinsk Meteorite - The Famous Fall Caught on Dash Cams in Russia!

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, fully crusted 360 degrees around, and getting harder to find. You will receive one small Chelyabinsk meteorite per purchase (please see photo to compare against the 1cm scale cube).

We have multiple of these meteorites available. Due to their small size, we chose to not take a photo of each individual meteorite. Each order will contain approximately the same size/weight meteorite, but no two are alike (although each look almost identical in size and appearance), therefore each purchase will be slightly different than what’s seen in the photo.  Each Chelyabinsk meteorite comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, just as all of our meteorites do.

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.
