A SET EIGHT TEKTITES
Tektites are natural glass objects primarily composed of silica. Tektites found on Earth are formed by large asteroidal or cometary impact with the Earth. Energy from the impact melts terrestrial rock and ejects it into the upper reaches of the atmosphere. A few minutes later tektites rain down. The final morphologies are largely dependent on the distance from the source crater and the degree of terrestrial weathering/etching.
These ektites have been found in the source crater of Hainan province, in southern parts of China.
They have deeply etched surface from it's life on earth over millions of years.
Each dimensions: 0.5x0..5x 0.5"
Domestic shipping (48 states) : $25.95.
