Greetings from Chile. My name is Ross Grange. I am originally from the state of Colorado in the US. I arrived in Chile in 1990 with my wife Sachiko and along with raising a family here; we have had the pleasure of getting to know this unique country. We also formed our own import and export company here in 1994 and in recent years we’ve developed business in rocks and minerals.

Since the pre-Columbian times, Chile has had a long history of mining and also cultural use of many different rock and minerals. Chile is also is well known in the area of meteorites and impactites, especially from the Atacama Desert area in north Chile. Being the driest desert in the world, the Atacama is a special environment where these elements of extraterrestrial origin or influence are preserved in a pristine state.

Over the past two years, we’ve been fortunate to become acquainted with a unique impactite known as Pica Glass. During several trips to the Atacama Desert, we’ve collected an excellent variety of Pica Glass, which we now are offering on an international level through this web site. It is our pleasure to attend your interest in this special impactite. Please feel free to contact me

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards, Ross
