In 1879, a celestial spectacle took place in the vast wilderness of Australia, near Tenham Station in western Queensland. Bright meteors streaked across the sky, their fiery trails tracing a path from west to east, before shattering into countless alien fragments on the ground. The gems were later found scattered over a vast area.

The 19th issue of the Meteorite Impacts series takes a hypothetical, comic-book-style look at how today's society might react to such an event.
