The Wabar pearls are impactites created by the impact that created the Wabar crater. These glass droplets are composed of microscopic iron-nickel particles derived from local sand and iron meteorites.

Trinitite is a glass made during the first nuclear explosion called Trinity, in Alamogordo, New Mexico on July 16, 1945.
Trinitite is made from the vitrification of the desert sand linked to the different elements of the structure on which the bomb rested and the bomb itself. Recently, researchers discovered that a piece of red Trinitrite took the form of a quasicrystal.
First discovered in the laboratory in the 1980s, quasicrystals also occur in nature, notably in meteorites.

The Sudbury Basin is an enormous structure 62 km long, 32 km wide and 15 km deep. This basin was formed after the impact of a meteorite, certainly a comet of about 10 to 15 km in diameter, 1.849 billion years ago.
It is the 2nd largest impact in the world. The very important mining development in the area is directly related to this event.
