Hi, I have read some eyewitness reports of heat from the Chelybinsk meteor. There was such heat coming in, as if it were summer. Is there any evidence that there was a rise in temperatures on the ground. I would assume that in a city the size of Chelybinsk there would be someone recording

Just saw that. Not surprisingly the piece is being sold direct from Chelyabinsk. Buyers taking huge risk that it will arrive from central Russia. I think that rusk depresses price and bidding pretty badly. Michael Farmer Sent from my iPhone On Apr 3, 2013, at 12:54 PM, Matson, Robert D.

Hello Rob and Listers   Thats great :)   But I found a sale that beats the $9.32/g which a 28g Chelybinsk sold for $200 which makes it $7.14/g but the shipping was $50. So if you wanted to include shipping, it would make it  $8.92/g.   Link:

Hi Shawn, I seems to take eBay a day or two to add recent sales to its completed listings search. I try to stay on top of the auctions that interest me to see what they end up going for as they finish, but some of the uglier stones I don't bother adding to my watch list, so I don't tally them
