What's more, according to Russia's Subsoil Law, there are no legal grounds for prohibiting people from collecting, selling and exporting meteorite fragments.
However, potentially lucrative finds are already raising eyebrows. The Internet is full of ads selling so-called fragments of the Chebarkul meteorite, with prices ranging from a few thousand to 500,000 roubles (£11,000).
The Chelyabinsk police department has already questioned one "businessman" - a resident of Emanzhelinka village - who has sold several fragments for 15,000 roubles. He could be charged with fraud if the stones are found to be fake.

"I think that's not something that we only feel here in Manchester, I think that's a sort of national pride," says Vijayaraghavan. "There's always been this sense of achievement amongst people that, yes, this is a British discovery, a British invention - and therefore it is something that we need to try to benefit from, rather than letting somebody else take it away from us."
