Impact Melt Glass | Flädle Glass | 39.8 Grams | Lake Mien Crater Impactite | Sweden
$72.00 CAD
Unit price perImpact Melt Glass | Flädle Glass | 39.8 Grams | Lake Mien Crater Impactite | Sweden
$72.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is an outstanding specimen Impact Melt Glass, or "Flädle" glass, from the Lake Mien crater, 12 km (7.5 mi) southwest of the town of Tingsryd, Sweden. It weighs 39.8 grams and measures 54x49x20 mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts.
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 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 eroded crater is marked by a 5.5-km (3.4-mi) diameter circular lake named Lake Mien. The original crater rim is estimated to have been about 9 km in diameter before erosion. Its age is estimated to be 121.0 ± 2.3 million years (Early Cretaceous). This Suevitic breccia with clastic matrix and melt inclusions (black) and crystalline rock clasts (gray to white) is amazingly light considering its mass. It has a unique hollow sound when you tap it.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
Impact Melt Rock | 17 grams | Stac Fada Impact Structure | NW Scotland

Unit price perImpact Melt Rock | 17 grams | Stac Fada Impact Structure | NW Scotland
$50.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a must have 17 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Stac Fada Member Impact Structure, NW Scotland. It measures 65x38x4 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.
