This is Pica Glass. It is an #impactite that is the result of a cometary impact in Chile's Atacama desert during the Pleistocene period. 💥

It contains stardust grains, zircons, and CAI inclusions that indicate a comet origin. ☄️

This specimen weighs 97 grams and resides in the Galactic Stone and Ironworks collection (see link in my profile).

Zhamanshinite impact glass from the Zhamanshin crater in Kazakhstan. It is a vesiculated, layered glassy material with melt flow that is visually similar to Darwin Glass from Australia. This crater in Kazakhstan is also the same source as Irghizite tektites. This hand specimen resides in the Galactic Stone & Ironworks collection.

A possible source for the Australasian #tektite strewn field has been identified: a buried, ~800000-year-old impact crater in Laos.

Ejecta gravel in an outcrop about 60 kilometers (37 miles) west-northwest of the impact site in Laos that spread tektites over four continents. Stone cobbles appear in stratigraphic exposure about a meter in depth, with lighter/finer materials above and below.

“Tektite II’s all-female mission furthered the idea that women could perform as well as (or better than) men in extreme environments, providing evidence that helped encourage NASA to begin training women as astronauts in 1978.”
