Graham, it does show signs of shock veins, just not on these 2 pictures. I have taken many more pictures of it since I have the mass right here in Denver. And I just got pictures of the 3400g mass, but it has been cut! and frankly it looks very weathered, not much crust on it. |

Looks unusual for Chelyabinsk in that the fusion crust shows no sign of shock veining or typical melt areas that produce a different surface. |

Thank you Svend.
Would you please publish a picture of that 3.4kg mass? Is it a complete, unbroken mass like this one? |

Hi Anne, a beautiful piece indeed. It is the 2nd largest documented mass until present, but not the main mass. A bigger specimen of 3,404 g was found by A. Usenkov at 54,901083*N; 60,757500*E.
Also you might want to correct the position shown in the map for the 3,070 g specimen. The correct find location for the 3,070 g specimen is 54,902805*N; 60,809421*E. You can also view the find locations of 254 documented masses including the 3,070 g in the strewnfield map linked on my website (sorry, no url's allowed, otherwise I'd have provided a link here)
