Details

Up for sale is a lot of tektite - with an approximate total weight of 1000 grams (24-26 pieces).   The tektites pictured are not the actual ones you will receive, but are an example of what you will receive if you purchase this item.   There are about 7-10 different shapes of tektites but the usual shapes are round like a disc, teardrop. or ovoid.  The surface may be smooth or rough.  The tektite was found in the Guangdong Province, China. 

These rocks have a high silica content and are also rich in oxides of potassium, calcium, and aluminum.    It is believed that Tektite is formed when a meteorite impact melts material from the Earth's surface and catapults it up to several hundred kilometers away from the impact site.  The molten material cools and solidifies to glass.
