Chelyabinsk LL5 chondrite meteorite from Chelyabinsk, Russia, 36 g.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Chelyabinsk meteorite is one of the most famous meteorite falls of all time, as it was recorded and photographed from many locations. Thanks to these videos, the trajectory of the meteorite could be traced and its origin determined.

The event occurred in February 2013 and caused extensive damage to street furniture, buildings, and other property, leaving a toll of 1,500 people injured, all due to the blast wave.

Classified as LL5 chondrite, i.e., a rocky-type meteorite with low iron content.

It has a very dark, fresh fusion crust, and you can see the interior very clearly, with veins.

At Expometeoritos, we handle outreach, talks, workshops, analyses, classification, and exhibitions of meteorites.

IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association) #8187
