Product Details

Location: Wabar Craters, Rub Al-Khali region of the southern Arabian Peninsula, Saudi Arabia A matte finished chunk of splash melt with tiny inclusions of white instarock. Quite an aesthetic mountain shaped piece with multiple ridges and valleys. There is a portion of the piece missing, which has revealed the interior layering. So very cool! The Wabar Craters and impacite have a fascinating history. There are at least three craters formed by iron impactors. All of the impactite is formed from the silica sand desert sands. There are a number of different ‘types’ of the impactite; from black splash melt, to grey splash melt, to “instarock” white, often like a ‘foamy’ material. Wabar impactite is intriguing. We have a significant collection available, please let us know if there’s more you would like to see in addition to those pieces listed on this site.
