The stones being shown in this video near the end definitely look promisingremind me of Almahata Sitta or fresh shocked chondrite.

Certainly meteorites, looks like chondrites for sure. Park Forest look to them.

In [meteorite-list] Gold Rush begins for Fragments of Russian Meteorite at: http://www.mail-archive.com/meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com/msg110943.html I wrote, “Chelyabinsk decided to keep the money in meteorites Konstantin Panyushkin, February 17, 2013, http://www.vesti.ru/doc.html?id=1034744cid=7 http://cdn1.vesti.ru/p/o_740865.jpg “ A rough translation done of the video at http://www.vesti.ru/only_video.html?vid=486926 was done for me. From the notes that I took while she translated for me, the first part of the video is about schools and hospitals getting their windows repaired and opening tomorrow. It was followed by a segment about first responders being taught to cut glass and repair windows. The next segment is about inhabitants in a village finding what they believe to me meteorites. The general gist of the segment is that they believe the stones came from space. They first noticed distinct holes in the snow around their village. When they dug up the holes, they found “pieces of metal” of various shapes and stones which they had not seen before within the area of the village. The kids said that they had found 6 or 7 stones the size of fingernail and one large stone. The segment states that they have decided to keep the “money in their stones” and wait to sell their stones when they can get the best money for them. It was stated that they will hide their stones from strangers until real buyers come as they heard on the internet that the stones are worth real money. Also, they will not think of showing their stones to scientists. One of the kids said that his grandfather told him not to keep the stones at home and not to touch them with his bare hands. My translator told me that the grandfather is likely thinking about the Kyshtym explosion that occurred on Sept. 29, 1957. In this explosion, a waste tank at the Mayak nuclear weapons plant, Chelyabinsk region, exploded and contaminated an area of 15,000 to 20,000 square miles with radioactivity. As a result, the older Russians in the region are suspicious of massive explosions of any kind.
