If you aren't familiar with tektites it might be best to read up on the internet but they are thought to be a glassy, pitted substance created when a huge meteorite explosion hit Earth and melted tons of sand and rock -many thousands of years ago.
Tektites are not technically meteorites (though they often contain meteorite traces within the tektite) but are amazing and very popular objects. There are many meteorite fans who only collect tektites!
Much has been claimed about the mystical properties of tektite and we wouldn't start to claim any of these as fact, but when you know a little about what you are holding we can guarantee you will get a lifetime of pleasure from these strange and mysterious objects.
This is guaranteed to be a genuine Tektite - and comes nicely presented in a protective box along with a signed certificate. We will also send you an illustrated A4 meteorite information sheet. This is an ideal introduction to the amazing world of metorite collecting and would make a GREAT gift for any astronomy or natural history fan!
