CHELYABINSK METEORITE, RUSSIA

 

Meteor Smoke Trail Over Chelyabinsk - Alex Alishevskikh Photograph

 

This was a very unique sample. It came from a site that was a "current event" in every earth/space science class in 2013 after the impact in February. The sample is small, and looks like a pyramid. The container shown below is 2.5 cm in diameter. Visibly, the sample is black. I was able to bring out some highlights using Photoshop. The colors shouldn't be treated as real.
