Carbonaceous Chondrite (CM2; S1)
Fell 17 January 1921, 321 g

After a fireball and detonations in the early evening, several stones were reported to have been seen but only a single stone was collected and retained. Haripura is a rare CM (Mighei-like) Carbonaceous Chondrite and, as such, is referred to in numerous articles. Haripura is rich in phyllosilicates [Serpentine-Tochilinite rich regions occupy 33 vol% of at least one well-studied section] and other aqueous alterations products and various inclusions would be expected. However, specific mineralogical references for this rather small meteorite are rather sparse and often oblique.

Haripura is one of the smaller 15 CM Chondrite falls, the most numerous of the 8 chemical groups of carbonaceous chondrites. Nearly 500 CM meteorites or meteorite fragments had been recovered by early 2015, but most of them are small Antarctic finds and may represent a much smaller number of separate meteorite falls.

The main mass is held at the Geological Survey of India (Calcutta).
