Impact Melt Breccia | 22 Grams | Gardnos Crater, Norway
$26.00 CAD
Unit price per1 low in stock
This is a great 22 gram Impact Melt Breccia from the Gardnos Crater in Norway. It is amazingly light considering its mass of 56x28x9mm. 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 between 385 and 900 million years ago in Precambrian time when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a ~5 kilometers wide crater locally known as the Hallingdal Impact Crater.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
