Stony Meteorite

This is the remnant of a spectacular explosion of a meteor in the atmosphere over Russia in February 2013; the explosion itself (the largest in decades) has an energy 30 times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Several hundred kg of meteorites remained afterwards, and we have a few nice pieces. This object tells a spectacular story (also regarding the danger of impacts).
