Dellenites Impact Melt Rock | 90.4 grams | HT Tagamite | Dellen Crater, Sweden
$92.40 CAD
Unit price perDellenites Impact Melt Rock | 90.4 grams | HT Tagamite | Dellen Crater, Sweden
$92.40 CAD
Unit price perThis is a must have 90.4 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dellen Crater, north of Stokholm, Sweden. Some locals call these rocks by the name of “dellenites”, although officially they are impact melt rocks. 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 approx. 89 million years ago when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a round crater which is now a lake about 11 miles wide. The term tagamite was introduced in 1975 to describe impact rock from the Popigai crater in Russia. Varieties of tagamites are described based on crystallinity, texture and clast content. HT Tagamite differs from other material due to the complete melting of the crystalline matrix and then being subjected to rapid cooling.
This gorgeous slice displays very well. It is amazingly light considering its mass of 92x57x8 mm. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Libyan Desert Glass | Natural Impact Glass | Huge 100.3 Grams | Authentic Impactite
$501.50 CAD
Unit price perLibyan Desert Glass | Natural Impact Glass | Huge 100.3 Grams | Authentic Impactite
$501.50 CAD
Unit price perThis is a rare and fantastic 100.3 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 80x42x33 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.

A volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. These are minerals that are commonly found in the Earth's mantle and crystallize as magma cools.
Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava 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.
This piece has been cut to show the pale crystals which are showcased beautifully against the surrounding black lava crust.

Olivine Volcanic Bomb | Rock Lava Crystal | 157.6 gr | Mt Shadwell Volcano, Australia
Olivine Volcanic Bomb | Rock Lava Crystal | 157.6 gr | Mt Shadwell Volcano, Australia
An olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.
Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava 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 bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.
This crystal has two natural natural windows that beautifully showcase the green olivine crystals that are within the lava crust.
