WABAR Pearls Impattite - 8.83 g

The Wabar Craters were discovered in 1932 in the desert of Saudi Arabia. The largest crater has a diameter of 100 m, a depth of 12 m, partially filled with sand, and it is thought to be the main crater where the impact occurred with material ejected from the surface of the ground. A crater located 1 km to the northwest is about half the size of the main crater, and it is thought that they are two partially overlapping craters. Two other craters in the area are completely filled with sand. Molten siliceous glass and tiny nickel-iron globules have been found near the main crater. The famous Wabar Pearls or tears are small particles of glass ejected far from the crater, so much so that they have taken these particular shapes and are highly sought after by collectors. The package contains 33 pieces, large and small, of various shapes. The material is guaranteed. I am IMCA member #2581 and GMA #G0025
