AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stunning specimen of natural impactite in a deep matte black color. The sample, weighing 19 grams and 50 mm long, stands out for its elongated morphology and a heavily sculpted surface, characterized by deep hemispherical cavities (pitting) from ablation. The surface texture bears witness to the extremely high temperatures reached during impact formation. An intact, solid glassy structure free of through cracks, ideal for collectors of meteorites and rare minerals. An exhibition piece fascinating for its aesthetics and texture, originally from the Ratti collection.
