Tektites (from Greek tektos, molten) are the coolest!!!!! They are natural glass objects, up to a few inches in size, which have been formed by the impact of large meteorites on Earths surface. Tektites are among the indriestin rocks, with an average water content of 0.005%. This is very unusual, as most if not all of the craters where tektites may have formed were underwater before impact. Also, partially melted zircons have been discovered inside a handful of tektites. This, along with the water content, suggests that the tektites were formed under phenomenal temperature and pressure (WOW!), not normally found on the surface of the Earth. Each one is incredible and different. Grab one now!
