Pearl of Wabar or pearl of the Harem
Origin: Ash Sharqiyah, Arabia Saudi
Type: natural glass
Mass: 0.77 g
Rare Wabar pearl, discovered in the Rub al-Khali desert, also called the “Empty Quarter”, in Saudi Arabia.This small glassy formation was born during the impact of a large iron meteorite which created the Wabar craters. Under the extreme heat and pressure, the desert sand was instantly melted and then thrown into the air. As they cooled quickly, some droplets took on a characteristic rounded or ovoid shape, giving rise to their poetic name “Wabar pearls”.Black to very dark brown in color, this impact glass contains a proportion of material from the meteorite, in particular iron and nickel. It thus constitutes a fascinating witness to the brutal encounter between a celestial body and the earth\'s surface.An unusual specimen, ideal for a collection of meteorites, impactites or a cabinet of curiosities.
