A tektite is terrestrial rock melted by a meteorite impact, thrown into the air and cooled into glass on the way down.

There are only a handful of tektite fields on Earth and this collection covers four of them: Bohemia for moldavite, the Great Sand Sea for Libyan Desert Glass, Indonesia for indochinites and Bicol in the Philippines for rizalites.

Each piece is listed with its field, its weight and its own photograph.

How to read a listing here

  1. 01

    Weight and price.

    Every specimen is listed by its exact weight to the hundredth of a gram, so you can compare one piece against another instead of guessing.

  2. 02

    Where it came from.

    The locality is on every listing, and for meteorites the classification too. What the photograph shows is the piece that ships.

  3. 03

    What is in the box.

    Most pieces ship with a display case and a velvet carrying bag, and every listing says exactly what comes with that piece. Saffordites also come with a macrame necklace and an information sheet.
