Tektite Sterling Silver Pendant - Molten Terrestrial Ejecta From Meteorite Impact

Collector notes

A tektite is a small, naturally formed glass object created when a meteorite strikes Earth and melts terrestrial rock. Origin: They are made from melted Earth rock, not from outer space. Formation: A giant meteorite hits the ground. The huge heat melts local sand, dirt, and rock. This liquid shoots up into the air and cools into glass as it falls back down. Name: The word comes from the Greek word tektos, which means molten.
