For over 10 million years, these meteorites have been travelling from the distant asteroide belt between the planets Mars and Jupiter. These historic meteorites are today a treasured collectors item, and we hope to share these fantastic artefacts, as well as the history of their origin with people of all ages. Join us!
An authentic Treasures From Space meteorite makes a superb gift for people of all ages. Every day, researchers are learning more and more about the universe around us thanks to meteorites that fall to earth and can be studied to learn more about their origin. We invite you to put time and space into perspective and learn more about the fascinating journey of these unique messengers from space.
Included is an illustrated 12 page booklet detailing the origins of the meteorite. A perfect introduction to the world of meteorite collecting.
On the 12. Febuary 1947 at 10:38 am, eyewitnesses in the Sikhote-Alin region of eastern Russia, observed a bright flash in the sky, followed by a fireball brighter than the sun descend from the atmosphere. The resounding boom could be heard as far away as 300 kilometers from the impact site. This event would prove to be the biggest meteorite strike of it´s kind in modern history, attracting the press and scientists eager to examine the visitors from outer space.
This is a fragment from a fantastic meteorite that had its origin in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and was formed in the same period as our own planet more than four thousand million years ago
