Sikhote Alin Meterorite (Russia 1947)


I picked up a piece of meteorite, a specimen from the Sikhote Alin meteorite crash (Russia 1947), the other day. I bought it from this cool shop that sells cool things. The above picture isn't mine but looks similar. You think about different things when you hold a piece of meteorite, like where did come from? How old is it? Puts everything into perspective.

It represents how insignificant and significant we all are in the scheme of things.
