Hello,here is a GREAT BIG 100% Natural Sikhote Alin meteorite that hasareally nicesculpted shape!

Here\'s More Info...At around 10:30 on 12 February 1947, eyewitnesses in the Sikhote-Alin Mountains, Primorye, Soviet Union, observed a large bolide brighter than the Sun that came out of the north and descended at an angle of about 41 degrees. The bright flash and the deafening sound of the fall were observed for 300 kilometres (190mi) around the point of impact not far from Luchegorsk and approximately 440km (270mi) northeast of Vladivostok. A smoke trail, estimated at 32km (20mi) long, remained in the sky for several hours.

As the meteor, traveling at a speed of about 14km/s (8.7mi/s), entered the atmosphere, it began to break apart, and the fragments fell together. At an altitude of about 5.6km (3.5mi), the largest mass apparently broke up in a violent explosion called an air burst!
