WABAR glass Impattite - Height: 19 cm - Width: 4 cm - 114 g - (1)

The Wabar Craters were discovered in 1932 in the Arabian Desert in 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 ejecta expelled from the surface. A crater located 1 km northwest is about half the size of the main crater, and it is thought that they are two partially overlapping craters. Two others in the area are completely filled with sand. Fused silica glass and tiny globules of nickel-iron have been found near the main crater. The glass has the characteristic black crust with inside white fused crystalline glass at extremely high temperatures. The material is guaranteed I am an IMCA member #2581 and GMA #G0025
