This is a great 99.69 gram Impact Melt Breccia from the Gardnos crater in Norway. It is amazingly light considering its mass of 91x51x13mm. 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. This gorgeous black and white slice displays very well with one side expertly polished and the other left untouched.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
