Oued el Hadjar LL6 #3 – 0,6 g
39,24 $Oued el Hadjar fell in March 1986 in Morocco.
Nomads heard a powerful whistling sound and saw a 1215.5 g stone fall 200 m from their tent. The stone was broken into several pieces (sacrificed on an altar) 15 days later during a wedding ceremony.
It was meteorite hunter Michel Franco who later found this meteorite and marketed it.

Trinitite #19 – 3,3 g
117,72 $Trinitite is a glass made during the first nuclear explosion called Trinity, in Alamogordo, New Mexico on July 16, 1945.
Trinitite is made from the vitrification of the desert sand linked to the different elements of the structure on which the bomb rested and the bomb itself. Recently, researchers discovered that a piece of red Trinitrite took the form of a quasicrystal.
First discovered in the laboratory in the 1980s, quasicrystals also occur in nature, notably in meteorites.
The Trinitrite is not at all radioactive.

Chelyabinsk LL5 #16 – 2,08 g
49,94 $The Chelyabinsk meteorite fell on February 15, 2013 in Russia.
With a diameter of around 17 metres, the bolide fragmented in the atmosphere. The energy released by this phenomenon is equivalent to 30 times the Hiroshima bomb, creating enormous damage.
More than 1,000 people were injured as a result. Indeed, since light travels much faster (300,000 km/s) than sound (340m/s), people stood behind their windows to observe the light phenomenon, only for the shockwave to arrive a minute later, shattering hundreds of panes of glass and partially damaging a factory, causing many injuries from broken glass.
The event received extensive media coverage.
