It is not impactitie. It has been determined to be
friction melt caused by a landslide.

I'm new to the whole meteorite collecting field, and came across
a piece of
Kofelsite on ebay. Can any one tell me if this material
is legitimate?
I want to thank the members of the list for the valuable
information and
leads that are posted daily.
Hello George,
I found the site you are
talking about on Ebay.
Meteorite
Impactite from Austria - KOFELSITE!
Kofelsite is NOT a meteorite, it
is an impactite, meaning it was created by the impact of a meteorite. And
there are many kinds of impactites, from many sources.
This one is from
Austria. I am not familiar with it but maybe one of our Austrian members
(Christian????) will be able to tell us more about it.
And Welcome to
the List!
