Impact Melt Rock | 25.3 grams | Stac Fada Impact Structure | NW Scotland
$74.00 CAD
Unit price perImpact Melt Rock | 25.3 grams | Stac Fada Impact Structure | NW Scotland
$74.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a must have 25.3 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Stac Fada Member Impact Structure, NW Scotland. It measures 74x31x6 mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection items you'll ever own. Impactite is a slag-like glassy object found on the surface of the earth, formed from rock melted by the impact of a meteorite.
The term impactite encompasses shock-metamorphosed target rocks, melts or suevites and mixtures of the two, as well as sedimentary rocks with significant impact-derived components and shocked mineral grains, tektites, anomalous geochemical signatures, etc.
This beautiful Impact melt rock comes from the Stac Fada impact structure in Scotland. The structure has an estimated age of about 1.2Ga (1,200 Ma). The Stac Fada Member of the Precambrian Stoer Group in Scotland has previously been described as volcanic in origin. However, shocked quartz and biotite provide evidence for high-pressure shock metamorphism, while chromium isotope values and elevated abundances of platinum group metals and siderophile elements indicate addition of meteoritic material. Thus, the unit is reinterpreted as having an impact origin.
This gorgeous slice displays very well. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with two a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Unit price perImpactite Breccia Suevite | 28.9 Grams | Montoume, Rochechouart Structure, France
$60.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a must have 28.9 gram Impact Breccia also referred to as Suevite coming from the famous Rochechouart impact structure in South Western France, near the village of Montoume. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection items you'll ever own. Impactite is a slag-like glassy object found on the surface of the earth, formed from rock melted by the impact of a meteorite.
Named after the town of Rochechouart, the Rochechouart impact structure is located on the western margin of the French Massif Central near the city of Limoges, approximately 350 km (220 mi) south of Paris. Rochechouart (population about 3800) is built with rocks created or modified by the impact (impactites).
The term impactite encompasses shock-metamorphosed target rocks, melts or suevites and mixtures of the two, as well as sedimentary rocks with significant impact-derived components and shocked mineral grains, tektites, anomalous geochemical signatures, etc. This impactite was formed 186 million years ago. This deformed rock fragments and partly molten are imbedded in a melt matrix showing typical flow structures from former melt.
This gorgeous slice displays very well with a mass of 59x40x7 mm. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
Olivine Volcanic Bomb | Lava Coated Crystal | 97 gr | Mt Shadwell Volcano, Australia
$60.00 CAD
Unit price perOlivine Volcanic Bomb | Lava Coated Crystal | 97 gr | Mt Shadwell Volcano, Australia
$60.00 CAD
Unit price perAn olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.
Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption. They can vary in size, and their shapes are often streamlined due to their molten nature as they are thrown through the air. When these volcanic bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.
This piece has been cut to showcase the beautiful green olivine crystals. It would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card and a stand will also be included.

Shatter Cone Impactite | 19.6 grams | Rochechouart Impact Structure | Montoume, France
$51.00 CAD
Unit price perShatter Cone Impactite | 19.6 grams | Rochechouart Impact Structure | Montoume, France
$51.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a fantastic shatter cone from Montoume France weighing 19.6 grams and measuring 45x27x16 mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites and shatter cones are directly linked to them and their impacts. Shatter cones are evidence that the rock has been subjected to an extreme shock with very brief high pressures. This particular specimen from Montoume is classified as subvolcanic dike rock.
Shatter cones are rare geological features that are only known to form in the bedrock beneath large meteorite impact craters. They have a distinctively conical shape with thin grooves (striae) that radiate from the top (apex) of the cone. Shatter cones can range in length from 1 centimeter to several meters. The azimuths of the cones's axes typically radiate outwards from the point of impact, with the cones pointing towards the center of the impact crater.
This impactite was formed 186 million years ago. This piece displays very well and is a very nice size showing multiple characteristics of its origin. Would make a beautiful addition to any collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Libyan Desert Glass | Natural Impact Glass | 18 Grams | Authentic Impactite
$92.00 CAD
Unit price perLibyan Desert Glass | Natural Impact Glass | 18 Grams | Authentic Impactite
$92.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a rare and fantastic 18 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 44x25x19 mm.
Although its exact origin is still debated, the leading theory suggests it was formed by a high-energy event, such as a meteoric impact or airburst, that melted the desert sand directly where it lay, without being ejected into the atmosphere and re-entering. This results in different physical characteristics compared to tektites. Libyan Desert Glass is found specifically in the Great Sand Sea of the Eastern Sahara, within a more localized area spanning parts of western Egypt and eastern Libya.
This piece displays extremely well and is a quality translucent specimen. It has an aesthetic shape with a beautiful wind eroded body from the years spent in the Desert. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
