I think that not only for Ural residents, but for the whole of humanity, the meteorite is a reminder that we live in fragile and unpredictable world”.

Meteorites Could be Worth Big Bucks | World | RIA Novosti
WASHINGTON, February 15 (By Maria Young for RIA Novosti) - As Russia assesses the damage from the meteorite shower that rained down on the central region of the country Friday, experts in the US said the fragments of space rock could bring a small fortune in hidden treasure to those quick enough to find and scoop them up. Most of the time, eBay would be a good place to sell, but if you have a large rock youd want to go to an auction house, and theyre going to want to know where it was, and they would require independent analysis, he said.

Sky fall: Meteorites strike Earth every few months - Mediacom
According to NASA, the trajectory of the Russian meteorite was significantly different than that of asteroid 2012 DA14. Nobody was injured by the meteor blast, or by the Sikhote-Alin meteorite that fell in eastern Siberia in 1947. Scientists believe that a far larger meteorite strike on what today is Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula may have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs about 66 million years ago. Some meteorites can be very valuable, selling for up to $670 per gram, depending on their origin and composition.
