High Energy Black Tibetan Tektite (M12813)SOLD!Black tektites are created during
meteoric impacts and are the combination of extraterrestrial and terrestrial
materials. The word tektite is from the Greek tektos meaning molten and these
stones have been revered for centuries as sacred. The heat of the meteors
causes the minerals to liquefy and this mixture is often thrown into the air.
As the minerals solidify and drop back to the Earth, they form in the shapes
teardrops, dumbbells or rounded buttons with etchings and small pockets.
Tektites have a high content of silicon dioxide yet appear completely black,
and are very light weight. Tibetan tektites are thought to originate from the
same stream of meteors that struck China. They are said to have higher lighter
energies than the tektites from China due to the altitudes in which they are
found.
The tektite measures 1.6" x 1" x 1.1" and weighs 1.2 oz. |
