832 gram individual --- $ 2075.-

This specimen shows some orientation and flight markings.  There is a big gash in the back of the specimen where it tried to blow apart during the explosions as the Sikhote-alin Meteorite was entering the atmosphere.  However, this piece held together making for a very unique individual. It measures 89mm by 83mm by 56mm at widest points.

Photo # 1 shows a view looking down on what I would call the leading edge of the meteorite.

Photo # 2 shows a view of the back.  You can see the large crack where it tried to blow apart.

Photo #3 is a view from the side showing distinctive flight markings.  You can also see another angle of the explosion crack running from the top of the photo down toward the middle.

Photo #4 and #5 are side views.

The photos do not do this piece justice.
