An iron meteorite fell on the Sikhote-Alin mountains, northeast of Vladivostok
in 1947. Never before in recorded history had a fall of this magnitude been
observed. An estimated 23 tonnes of fragments survived the fiery passage
through the atmosphere and did reach the earth.
At around 10:30 on February 1947 eyewitnesses observed a large bolide
brighter than the sun that descended at an angle of about 41 degrees.
The bright flash and the deafening sound of the fall were observed for
300 kilometers around the point of impact. A smoke trail, estimated 32 km
long remained in the sky for several hours.
As the meteor, traveling at a speed of about 14 km/s entered the atmosphere
it began to break apart. The event left mainly 2 types of meteorites.
The one presented here has the smooth surface due to the higher time being
ablated, giving these very beautiful regmaglypts. A truly must-have specimen.
Please note: sorry, no shipping to Asia, Africa, South America, Russia, Turkey
