Impact Melt Rock | 7.8 grams | Dhala Impact Structure | 3rd Oldest Impact | India
$10.00 CAD
Unit price perImpact Melt Rock | 7.8 grams | Dhala Impact Structure | 3rd Oldest Impact | India
$10.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a 7.8 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dhala Impact Structure, India. It measures 39x26x5 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 11 km-diameter highly eroded Dhala impact structure in India. The Dhala structure has an estimated age of about 2Ga (2,000 Ma), making it the third oldest terrestrial impact structure.
This gorgeous slice displays very well. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
Libyan Desert Glass | Natural Impact Glass | 8 Grams | Authentic Impactite
$42.00 CAD
Unit price perLibyan Desert Glass | Natural Impact Glass | 8 Grams | Authentic Impactite
$42.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a rare and fantastic 8 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 32x22x15 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.

This is a must have 11-gram Impact Melt Rock from the Polingen Quarry site of the famous Ries crater Germany. 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 impactite was formed 14.5 million years ago in Malmian or Jurassic limestone when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a ~10 miles wide crater named the Ries crater in Germany.
This gorgeous part end cut displays very well, it is amazingly light considering its mass of 36x31x19 mm. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Impactite Breccia Suevite | 40.8 Grams | Chassenon, Rochechouart Structure, France
$57.00 CAD
Unit price perImpactite Breccia Suevite | 40.8 Grams | Chassenon, Rochechouart Structure, France
$57.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a must have 40.8 gram Impact Breccia, also referred to as Suevite, from the famous Rochechouart impact structure in South Western France, near the village of Chassenon. 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). Chassenon, a third of the size of Rochechouart, is also built of impactites. Impactite was used 2000 years ago for building Chassenon's monumental Roman baths of Cassinomagus.
The very fine materials (impactoclastites) are preserved forming a very fine layered horizontal deposits on top of the melt rich suevite (breccia with a debris matrix and both rock debris and melt fragments as clasts) near Chassenon.
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.

Impact Breccia | Part Slice | 222.8 Grams | Metal Rich Impactite | Sudbury Structure, Canada
$230.00 CAD
Unit price perImpact Breccia | Part Slice | 222.8 Grams | Metal Rich Impactite | Sudbury Structure, Canada
$230.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a must have 222.8 gram Metal Ore Copper rich Impact Breccia from the famous Sudbury Astrobleme Impact Structure in Ontario Canada. Its dimensions are 110x70x10 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 pieces you'll ever own.
About 1.87 billion years ago, an object from space nine kilometers in diameter slammed into Canada, a little north of Sudbury, Ontario creating the second largest impact structure on the earth. This impact was equivalent to a billion tons of TNT. An impact so big it cracked the earth, and in fact there are still earthquakes because of that event today! The many mineral rich deposits and strange rock formations in such close proximity has attracted attention for 100's of years, long before its impact origin was known.
Note that this is not a meteorite but a slice of Earth rock, altered by the impact of a very large meteorite. This came from the ring of the impact and is the harder to find gold-copper-bronze colored impactite described as a metal-rich breccia and sulfides composed chiefly of some amount of iridium, cobalt & selenium. In addition, most of these specimens will contain nickel, iron, sperrylite and pentlandite as well as minor amounts of other metals, metallic & silicate minerals."
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Michael Cottingham Meteorite Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
