Volcanic bombs are large clots of volcanic lava rock 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 lava rocks contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.
Mount Shadwell, a dormant volcano, was formed 25,000 years ago and is believed to have last erupted about 5,000 years ago. The town of Mortlake, which is situated at the foot of the volcano, is the self-proclaimed olivine capital of Australia. This is where large ejected rocks from Mt Shadwell, called volcanic bombs, are found.
This piece has been cut to show the green olivine crystals which are showcased beautifully against the surrounding black lava crust.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
