Chelyabinsk on commemorative support Complete small meteorite from the Chelyabinsk Falls. It's a meteorite that fell in Russia in 2013. Remember, in February 2013 all the media talked about it. It was precisely on February 15, 2013 that suddenly at 9:22 a.m. in the sky of the city of Chelyabinsk in Russia, a huge meteorite 17 m in diameter with an estimated mass of 10,000 tons appeared in the form of a dazzling fireball observed by thousands of people. The meteorite then fragments into thousands of small meteorites and causes extensive damage by the blast of the huge meteorite in our atmosphere.more than a thousand people are injured, most of them by shards of glass thrown out of windows by the blast of the explosion, while many people rush to the windows, attracted by the glare of light from outside. Meteorites with all its black fusion crust, very well preserved. These meteorites are sought after and increasingly rare, collectors very rarely part with their specimen. We propose here a complete Chelyabinsk meteorite of about 10 mm fixed on a 90 x 75 mm and 110 mm high commemorative support.
