The fall is especially notable because the stone reportedly struck through a house roof, with around 1 kg of material recovered. As a recent witnessed fall with a documented impact location, Kopargaon has strong provenance and scientific interest. Research describes it as an LL5 Chondrite and a monomict breccia, linking it to low iron, low metal Ordinary Chondrite material. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"1091\"\u003eSpecimens of Kopargaon typically show the characteristics of an LL5 Ordinary Chondrite, with a grey to brown interior, subdued chondrules, and low visible metal compared with H and L Chondrites. The type 5 classification indicates significant thermal metamorphism on its parent body, while the brecciated structure records later impact processing. Some material may show fusion crust or fragmented textures associated with its witnessed fall and recovery. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1546\"\u003eFor collectors, Kopargaon offers a scarce opportunity to acquire material from a recent Indian witnessed fall with a distinctive recovery story. Its limited recovered mass, LL5 classification, and documented fall context make it especially appealing for collections focused on recent falls, Indian meteorites, or Ordinary Chondrites with strong provenance. Each specimen represents ancient asteroid material connected to a clearly recorded modern event.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56324795040070,"sku":"KOP-02\/05","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0518\/8678\/files\/Kopargaon04-3.jpg?v=1775564653","url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/products\/kopargaon-ll5-chondrite-mini-fragment-0-01-g-2","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
