Tektites

Item: Natural Tektites (Indochinites), in 2 sizes
	Code#: tekm107x Size: available in 2 sizes: 1.25" to 1.5", and 1.75" to 2" Location: Discovered at Bao Loc, Vietnam These natural tektites were recently collected in Vietnam. They are opaque and have irregular rounded shapes with pitted surfaces. They are known as "Indochinites", and have been shown by K-Ar radiometric age dating to be approximately 700,000 years old. Scientists believe that the tektite's origin is the result of meteorite impact on either terrestial or lunar rocks. The tektites then formed when molten rock, created by the meteorite's hyper-velocity impact, flew through the air hardening into natural glass with aerodynamic forms and surface features. We have two approximate sizes available: 1.25" to 1.5" (average weight: 40 grams), and 1.75" to 2" (average weight: 65 grams). Please see below to order.
