Description:

Measuring 4-5/8 inches wide and 3-1/4 inches tall, and weighing in at an impressive 3.3 pounds. The surface has taken on a crystalline appearance, with a gold color to the bulk and traces of garnets, possibly red rubies (in order to preserve the specimen, detailed analysis has not been performed on our end). Reported as having been recovered from the mountains near Nevada City, Montana, very few meteors this size survive the trip, with an even smaller number actually recovered.

Rating Definition:

Pretty good, considering the item fell through the atmosphere at 78 feet per second while on fire, then collided with the ground.
