Meteorite From Biggest Meteor Strike Since 1907. At 9:20 A.M. on the morning of February 15, 2013, a large 8-10 ton, 50' long meteor exploded 10-15 miles above the ancient city of Chelyabinsk, Russia with the force of over 500,000 tons of TNT -- 10 times the force of the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. This fresh and complete 40 x 18 x 10 mm, 14.1 gram stony meteorite is remarkable for its two different fusion crusts: a thick dark brown crust and a thinner black fusion crust, plus a view inside the meteorite in the area not covered by fusion crust. Estimate Value $300 - 400
