Very interesting! While reading I didn't notice anywhere how old the meteorite is (how long ago it fell to Earth), is that still unknown data or is it clear that Mr. Malovrh discovered the stone soon (weeks, months?) after its landing?

Good question! We don't have that data yet on when it fell, i.e. its terrestrial age. The terrestrial age of the meteorite can be calculated using cosmogenic isotopes. We're still waiting for the results of those analyses for now.
We conclude from the weathering of the meteorite that it fell less than a year before the find - therefore around 1991.
If you're interested in more, you're invited to my lecture on the meteorite on Wednesday, December 4 at 18:40 at the Natural History Museum of Slovenia. Entry is free of course.
