IoM: The Sikhote Alin meteorite: Episode 3

[Oakleaf700]

I like this Russian Chap! He is obviously protecting his livelihood, and who can blame him..I bought my meteorite fragments in around 2000 from a Russian mineral dealer[looked like an old hippy] at a rock and gem fair..I remember finding as a kid a ''meteorite'' in chalk soil, rounded, like a cannonball, but in later life, i saw that it was a pyrite nodule or something similar..Re S.A meteorites, I prefer the melted individual type as opposed to the torn shrapnel type.
