1,000 euro/gramme! That's some serious good luck!!

AND they let their kid take it to show'n'tell in his backpack!?????

I have tried on both FB and here and I cannot get this story
Probably firefox is blocking it ?

[Suzy]

yes indeed, what are the chances!

Wrapped in kitchen wrap to take for show and tell?? If I had that rock it would strictly be a "hands off my rock" policy.
Oh, just imagine stroking a rock that no human hand has touched, fresh from space.

If one that size (size of an egg/88g)) just happened to hit me over the head, I think that could actually wipe me out permanently judging by the damage it did to that roof.

Oh Suzy!

Very probably most of rocks on Earth have not been touched by human hands

And some of them did come from space.
