Tektite
310 carot
2.2 oz
☄️
Tektite is a small, glassy object formed from terrestrial debris ejected during meteorite impacts. These natural glass stones are found scattered across the Earth in various locations, typically within narrow geographical bands known as strewn fields. Tektites are characterized by their smooth, aerodynamic shape, which is the result of their molten state being rapidly cooled after being ejected high into the atmosphere during an impact event. Their composition generally mirrors that of the local terrestrial rocks, but with a higher silica content and a lack of the crystalline structure typical of those rocks, due to the rapid cooling process.
Tektites vary in color, from green, black, brown to gray, and they are often used in jewelry due to their unique origin and appearance. They are particularly interesting to scientists and collectors because their distribution and composition provide valuable information about the Earth’s geological history and the location and size of meteorite impacts.
Beyond their scientific interest, tektites are also the subject of fascination and speculation regarding their formation and origin. They are sometimes associated with myths and metaphysical properties, such as offering protection or enhancing communication
