On April 14, 2010, a brilliant night-time fireball illuminated the sky over rural Wisconsin farm country. The fireball was captured on video by numerous sources and multiple detonation events occurred as the fireball rained meteorites down on the countryside.  This new witnessed fall meteorite is also a "hammer fall" because one of the meteorites struck the roof of a barn and another landed on a garden hose. 

The hunt for these meteorites is ongoing, but the total known weight so far is less than 10 kilograms.   This meteorite has been classified as a brecciated L5 chondrite.

I received a small stone to slice and several small crumbs fell off during cutting.  Some of these fragments have black fusion crust and some show metal fleck.   Your purchase will include one small fragment similar in size and quality to the one shown in the photo.  You may find a larger Wisconsin specimen on the market, but you won't find a cheaper one!

Refer to the photo.  The black centimeter cube is shown for scale and is not included.   Your purchase will include a labelled gemjar for safe storage and provenance information.
