Some info on the 0.8 million year old Mount Darwin Crater:

Darwin Crater lies in an inaccessible area 26 km to the south of Queenstown
Tasmania. Although natural glasses have been found by indigenous people in
the Mt. Darwin area for a long time, the crater itself was only discovered
in 1972. A particularly luxuriant vegetation and the mountainous aspect of
the area, prevented the discovery of the crater and of greater quantities of
glass. First analyses were performed by Suess F.E. in 1914.

Thanks for looking & good luck bidding.
