Item Description
A striking teardrop-shaped pock marked tektite from a rare locale in China. Tektkites are a natural glass formed from a meteorite impact melting the local rock and falling back to earth. 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). Bizarre material from an impact in China. The narrow end is broken on this exotic looking piece. 79 grams mass.
