Atacamaite tektite, rare type from Chile. Meteorite impact - 1.2 g

Francesco Moser

Selected by Francesco Moser

Atacamites are a type of tektite and impactite found in the middle of the Atacama Desert in Chile. They were ejected into the Earth's atmosphere by a meteorite impact years ago. The steam jets cooled down and condensed to form this type of glass. A common feature of atacamites is their small size. Over 90% of them weigh less than 1 gram. Packages are usually sent the morning after the auction. Shipping is combined in all my listings - if you win multiple items, only one shipping cost is paid. Certificate of authenticity included. IMCA 5591. Do not miss this opportunity!
