The interest of an Impact Melt Breccia is to find many lithologies in the same slice. The more the brecciation the better the interest , but consequently the higher the price.

Poorly brecciated ( L - IMB) have been sold in the past years from $ 28 per g. Caillou Noir offers wonderful slices and endcuts highly brecciated at the incredible starting price of $3/g for the large ones up to $6/g for the smaller ones.

Such Impact Melt Brecciated slices never touched the Internet market. Today Caillou Noir is proud to offer for the scientific and collectors community part of the limited serie of 12 big slices of the best individual of the El Arouss meteorite, and some more. Rare L - IMB slices are offered at $10/g on the Internet market, are available. Caillou Noir proposes big slices of El Arouss L - IMB from $3 to $4/g depending thickness of the slice. Most are in the 10 cm large range. Look too at the thickness of our slices: Caillou Noir offers a very interesting surface / weight ratio.
