Laborel Chondrite H5 - Height: 13 mm - Width: 10 mm - 1.87 g - (1)

Laborel, H5 chondrite, France.
The Laborel meteorite is an ordinary H5 chondrite that fell on June 14, 1871 at Les Arnoux, in the commune of Laborel in the Drôme department, France.

Main characteristics:
• Date of fall: observed fall on June 14, 1871, around 8 p.m.
• Phenomenon: A bright bolide crossed the sky, followed by a sonic boom and detonations due to its fragmentation at altitude before the fall of several stones.
• Total mass found: Two stones were seen during their fall but were not discovered until 1895. One weighed 2.66 kg and the other 91 g. In total, about 3.83 kg was ultimately found.
• Classification: Chondrite H5 (an old, primitive rock, rich in iron).
• Discovery: The fall was reported and documented later, notably by Mr. V. Pâquier in 1894, who helped preserve notable samples (such as at the Faculty of Sciences of Grenoble).
