Irgizites are shards and droplets of molten material ejected during the same meteorite impact that also created Zhamanshinite impact glass. The Zhamanshin crater is a 14km-wide structure located in Kazakhstan that was the result of a meteorite impact approx. 1 million years ago.
Irgizites are similar in overall appearance to Indochinite tektites, but Irgizites are smaller and have less variety in shapes. Most irgizites are droplet shaped or thin stretched forms. These are not commonly seen on the market and large ones are almost unheard of.
This example is a rare oriented button shape. It has delicate flowlines on the leading face and spherical spall formations on the trailing side where molten material was spalling off. It weighs approx. .454g (454mg).
