Description: Great educational and hands on learning specimen of RARE splash form all natural tektite from Indonesia.The word Tektite comes from Greek τηκτός "tēktos" (molten).Tektites are gravel-size bodies composed of black, green, brown or gray natural glass formed from terrestrial debris ejected during extraterrestrial impacts.On the basis of morphology and physical characteristics, tektites have traditionally been divided into four groups. The tektites which have been found on land have traditionally been subdivided into three groups: (1) splash-form (normal) tektites, (2) aerodynamically shaped tektites, and (3) Muong Nong-type (layered) tektites. Splash-form and aerodynamically shaped tektites are only differentiated on the basis of their appearance and some of their physical characteristics. Splash-form tektites are shaped like spheres, ellipsoids, teardrops, dumbbells, and other forms characteristic of isolated molten bodies. They are regarded as having formed from the solidification of rotating liquids, and not atmospheric ablation.Each buyer will receive 1 tektite approximately 1 inch wide by 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches long scooped from tektites as pictured.
