The meteorite was documented and classified as an H5 chondrite. In February 2007 additional pieces were recovered and made available to the meteorite market.

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. Baszkowka meteorite.jpg (1487813 bytes)

BRAHIN, Byelarus 

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 olivine crystals are darker than Esquel or Imilac, it remains a highly desirable addition to any meteorite collection.

BREJA, Algeria - Witnessed 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. Breja, 2.48 gms.jpg (26324 bytes)
