$54.00 CAD
Unit price per1 low in stock
Estimated delivery between 29 December and 03 January.
This is a must have 76.5 gram Impact Vesicular Breccia also referred to as Suevite coming from the famous Rochechouart impact structure in South Western France, near the village of La Valette. 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. 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 end piece displays very well with a mass of 92.3 x 71.3 x 9.8 mm. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
