Edeowie glass

Edeowie glass is a slag-like, opaque natural glass found as vesicular or in sheet-like masses in a semi-continuous swath, about 55 km long and 10 km wide along the western side of the Flinders Ranges near Parachilna, South Australia. The origin of Edeowie glass has been attributed to either lightning strikes, meteorite or comet impact, or mirror matter impact.[1][2][3]
