Impact Melt Breccia | 85.2 Grams | Sääksjärvi Crater, Finland
$103.00 CAD
Unit price / per1 low in stock
This is a great 85.2 gram Impact Melt Breccia from the Sääksjärvi crater in Finland. It is amazingly light considering its mass of 95x51x15 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 item 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.
Sääksjärvi is a lake in Kokemäki, Satakunta, western Finland, east of the town of Pori. The lake is notable because it overlies an impact crater. The crater is 5 kilometres (3 mi) in diameter and is completely buried under the lake and is not visible at the surface. The age of the impact structure is estimated to be about 543 ± 12 Ma (million years ago), at the boundary between the Ediacaran and Cambrian periods. There are impactite rocks in the southwestern region from the crater confirming its extraterrestrial origin. At the time of its discovery, only one impact crater (Lappajärvi) was known in Finland.

from 544 reviewsI’m so happy with my purchases from Canagem! The stones are gorgeous and just as shown.
Exactly as I imagined
Amazing service and a nice handwritten card with the rock!! My husband loved it and I will be buying from here again! It came pretty fast aswel :)
Clean specimen arrived intact. Thank you for packing it well!
I ordered a Myanmar ruby of 1.85 ct. and a 1.2 ct. garnet. They processed my order the same day and the package showed up at home only two business days later. Beautiful gems, beautifully presented and excellent service. The website is a joy to peruse. I immediately ordered half a dozen more for a birthstone project. The best source i found for stones in Canada. Thanks Laura & Jean!
Très belle pièce. Je commence à collectionner les météorites et cette pièce est peu dispendieuse et va enrichir ma collection. Expédition rapide et excellente communication avec les gens de Canagem. AAA+++
It wasn't until I got a new UV light that I was able to see the amazing colour of this flourite. The specimen is very attractive in natural light, and crazy beautiful under 254nm UV! I love it!
It is a great mini collection of meteorites to start my adventure into meteorite collecting.
Was hesitant at first to order a specimen online for the first time, but: Great service! Great specimen!
Thank you very much!
Stunning sample. Even nicer than the photo!
Nice genuine malachite. A lot of painted phonies out there. Trump, for one.
