Viñales L6 3.95g Fusion Crusted Slice From Feb 1, 2019 Cuba Fall

Description

Item for auction is a 3.95g crusted slice of the Viñales meteorite fall. On February 1, in broad daylight, residents of Viñales, a town in western Cuba witnessed a large plume of smoke in the sky, followed by a loud explosion that was
fragmenting at an approximate height of 10-12 kilometers. Many locals believe that the events of February 1 were a new gift of nature for Viñales, which will surely add to the mystique of the valley on Cuba. Alongside the fossils of extinct animals, cave paintings, and unexplored caverns, Viñales now boasts a fragment of the cosmos. This pristine rock (97% fusion crust) from space was recovered by a friend only a few days after the fall, and before the rains that soaked the region soon afterward. It comes with a
