"The outside of every stone that has been found, and has been
ascertained to have fallen from the cloud near Sienna, is evidently
freshly vitrified, and is black, having every sign of having passed
through an extreme heat; when broken, the inside is of a light-gray
color mixed with black spots, and some shining particles, which the
learned here have determined to be pyrites..."

- W. Hamilton (1795)
