Blobrana · L

A single 700 gram stone was found after falling on the Ölgiy Plain in Mongolia. The Jalanash fall was witnessed on August 15, 1990. Full mineralogical descriptions of Jalanash have not appeared in ready available publications, but microstructures in Jalanash pigeonite have been the object of some recent studies of Jalanashs microstructures. Pigeonite is stable at ambient temperature only when cooled very rapidly.
