Estimated delivery between 31 December and 05 January.
This is a 21.4 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dhala Impact Structure, India. It measures 63x29x15 mm. 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 beautiful Impact melt rock comes from the 11 km-diameter highly eroded Dhala impact structure in India. The Dhala structure has an estimated age of about 2Ga (2,000 Ma), making it the third oldest terrestrial impact structure.
This gorgeous end cut displays very well. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
