A stone that a man stumbled across near his home in central Japan has turned out to be a meteorite believed to date back 4.6 billion years.

It is the first meteorite identified in Japan in 15 years.

Six years ago, Katsuyuki Mitsumura was harvesting vegetables at a field near his house in the city of Gifu, when he found a strange stone that was black and gleaming.
