The finnish and swedish text above the Luotolax oriented stone from
NHM, Helsinki reads:

"In Savitipale one heard on December 13 1813 at 10 o'clock, a thunderlike
rumbling
and saw "black clouds" that moved fast. Numerous meteoritestones fell down
in the field and at the frozen lake. This peace found its place by the general-
governor F. Steinheil. The sample's weight is 258 grams. Notice the black-
shining fused crust!"

Clear skies,
Bj?rn S?rheim
