The event was widely observed as a bright daytime fireball, accompanied by sonic booms and a long smoke trail before stones fell across the Viñales Valley. More than 50 kg of material was recovered, making Viñales one of the most significant modern Caribbean meteorite falls and one of only a small number of approved meteorites from Cuba. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"1003\"\u003eSpecimens of Viñales typically show a grey to brown interior with subdued chondrules, metal grains, shock features, and areas of dark fusion crust. As an L6 Ordinary Chondrite, it has lower metallic iron than H Chondrites and has experienced a high degree of thermal metamorphism on its parent asteroid. Research has also noted shock veins and high-pressure mineral features in some material, adding further scientific interest to the fall. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1449\"\u003eFor collectors, Viñales offers a strong combination of witnessed fall provenance, modern documentation, and attractive specimen character.
