BASZKOWKA, Poland - Witnessed
Fall
| A single oriented stone
fell in the village of Baszkowka, Warszawa. Poland, on 25 August 1994.
The stone has such well defined regmaglypts that only a small piece was
removed for analysis. Therefore, less than 50 grams was released and I
was fortunate to have something the Geological Institute in Warsaw
needed in trade. The Institute will cut no more. Classified as an L6
chondrite and impossible to obtain from Poland, this rare partial slice
of 1.342 grams was removed from the slice I received from the Geological
Institute. It is priced at a reasonable $400.00. |

Brahin was found in the Gomel region of
Byelarus in 1810. Initially, two masses were found but several masses have been
recovered since. Brahin is classified as a stony-iron, Pallasite, main group,
fragmental olivine shape. This is an attractive Pallasite, and even though the

Fall
| On the morning of 1 May
2010 many people witnessed a very bright bolide accompanied by a sonic
boom. Nomads recovered the meteorite fall material from Algeria and
transported it to Morocco where the material was sold. Most likely an
LL6, this material has fresh black fusion crust, with a light gray
matrix and some metal inclusions. Another beautiful meteorite from an
area which seems to receive more than it's fair share of falls. |
