To me, Chelyabinsk is to stony meteorites what Shikhote-Alin is to irons: a large fall with a huge number of individuals, displaying an amazing variety of sizes, shapes, and morphologies. Seen here are 217 small individuals, with masses between 0.01g and 0.81g, in total 27.6g. Each one is fully crusted, and many are oriented. |

Very nice Chelyabinsks!
One nice aspect of Chelyabinsk is that you can get one with nice fresh fusion crust at a manageable cost. So that's very nice for the collector compared to a lot of other falls, where a nice fresh one can be very costly. Each one in the photo above is gorgeous. :D |

Herbert, thanks for the wonderful mini specimen assortment for our viewing pleasure. I agree with you too, that Chelyabinsk gives such a great variety... due to the sheer number of specimens. In many ways it's similar to living through Holbrook for those of us that missed it over 100 years ago! |
