{"product_id":"chelyabinsk-ordinary-chondrite-ll5-0-1g","title":"Chelyabinsk - Ordinary Chondrite, LL5 (0.1g)","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChelyabinsk needs little introduction — this is material from the massive airburst that lit up the sky over Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, on February 15, 2013, one of the most well-documented and widely witnessed meteorite falls in modern history. Captured on countless dashcams and security cameras as it streaked across the sky brighter than the sun before detonating in a powerful airburst roughly 30 km above the ground, the event injured over 1,500 people (mostly from shattered glass) and produced a strewn field scattering fragments across a wide area southwest of the city. Classified as an LL5 ordinary chondrite, Chelyabinsk is a heavily shocked, brecciated stone showing clear evidence of a violent impact history on its parent body long before it ever reached Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a genuine crusted individual — a small, complete fragment preserving its natural black fusion crust from atmospheric entry, rather than a cut or polished slice. At 0.1g, it's an accessible, affordable way to own a piece of one of the best-documented meteorite falls of the century, ideal for a thumbnail collection, a teaching set, or simply as an entry point into meteorite collecting for a piece with genuine historical significance behind it. Despite the enormous quantity of material recovered from this fall, well-documented crusted individuals like this remain a popular staple for collectors precisely because of how thoroughly witnessed and scientifically studied the event was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. specimen weight: \u003c\/strong\u003e0.1g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rad Man Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54620994371868,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/5524\/1500\/files\/P9280171.jpg?v=1790633768","url":"https:\/\/radmanminerals.com\/products\/chelyabinsk-ordinary-chondrite-ll5-0-1g","provider":"Rad Man Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
