Item Description
Tektkites are a natural glass formed from a meteorite impact melting the local rock. Depending on the nature of the latter, the composition of tektites is variable. Hence, many varietal names are given to tektites from different localities (MINDAT). This bizarre large form looks like a pock marked barbell! RARE, seldom-seen material from an impact in China. 79 grams mass.
