Looking a little like the world’s biggest light sabre, one of Yorkshire’s most iconic features - the Arqiva Tower at Emley Moor - got the Star Wars treatment over the Tour de France weekend when it was lit up as part of Hypervelocity, the grand finale of The Yorkshire Festival 2014.

"Pica Glass" is an anomalous natural glass that occurs in areas of Chile's Atacama Desert in South America. Nickel-bearing minerals are present, as are minerals that form under very high temperature conditions. The glass is interpreted as having formed by and being contaminated by a bolide impact (airburst). Isotopic dating indicates a Late Pleistocene age, about 12,000 years ago. Some researchers assert that no nickel is present in Pica Glass and conclude the glass formed by low-temperature surface fires.

Yorkshire Festival - Hypervelocity. Mast official name "The Arqiva Tower". 5th July 2014 Tour De France weekend. The Grand Depart .
On the morning of 2nd July 2014, commuters in Huddersfield were treated to the surprising sight of a French rural idyll outside the main train station. Complete with animals, flowers, fruit and vegetable plots, the farm was tended by two teams of 13 French farmers working around the clock.

Agoudal
Iron IIAB
Morocco
Find: 2000
TKW: 100 kg / OBJ: 61,77 g
Mass: greater than 100Kg
Classification: Iron, IIAB
Weathering Grade: W1
Structural Type: Hexahedrite
Geochemistry: Ni 5.5 wt% | Co 4.1 mg/g | Ga 58 µg/g, | Ir < 0.04 µg/g | Au ˜1 µg/g
History & Other Information: This low-nickel iron IIAB meteorite was found near Imilchil, Morocco in 2000. It was eventually brought down the canyon to the town of Er Rich, where in 2011 a local dealer bought it and subsequently sent it off for analysis. (Our local version of the history recounts an Agoudal local sending a sample off to Dr. Ibhi in Agadir for analysis). By the time it was identified as a new, unpaired iron IIAB hexahedrite meteorite and given an official name, the rush to find more material by local hunters was in full swing. Early on, this meteorite was also known by the name 'Imilchil'.
By mid 2012, nearly a ton of material was thought to have been collected. We believe it to be closer to two tons. In 2013 scientists from local universities collected 200 grams of specimens with GPS coordinates and in-situ photographs. Despite the massive amount of material collected, due primarily to local hunters' disregard for documenting find locations, the strewn field is not yet well defined.
It is widely thought that this meteorite is connected to an ancient hypervelocity impact that occured 40,000 years ago, evidenced by shatter cones found in the same general vicinity of the meteorites. The nearby lakes Isli and Tislit have also been mentioned in peer reviewed papers as being possible impact craters related to the Agoudal meteorite. The shatter cones of Agoudal do establish that an impact occured in the area sometime in the past. Exactly where the related structure is, has yet to be conclusively identified. However, the shatter cones we have found in-situ lead us to believe the impact structure is centered around the area previously identified by Dr. Ibhi and other researchers. No defensible evidence for hypervelocity impact origin has been established for the lake structures, nor has a strong connection been established between the shatter cones and the Agoudal meteorite. Any association is only circumstantial at this point.
One of the largest finds, a 79 Kilo giant, is still in Agoudal waiting for the right buyer. If you represent a known institution, dealer, or collection interested in acquiring one of the largest Agoudal meteorites found to date, send us an email. We will gladly broker the purchase with a US based contract and an insured transaction with optional escrow service. We have extensive contacts in the area and our field headquarters are located just down the canyon from Agoudal in the town of Ait' Youb.

Cut from the large piece of Moldavite. 14.7 millions years old natural glass produce by hyper-velocity meteorite impact on Earth. The soil vaporized by the ultra-hot blast temperature. Then condensed again in the hyperspeed condition created the splashform shaped. Then after the explosion, the splashform impact melt ejecta turn to beautiful green tektite and land on the Earth again. Imagine how difficult to recreate this gems even by large nuclear explosion!
