Arizona Saffordite | Rare Cintamani Stone | Pseudo Tektite |8.14g

The stone is a rich dark brown to nearly black in normal light, while strong backlighting reveals its beautiful smoky brown translucency. It also displays noticeable flow-like striations, pits, grooves, and naturally etched textures across the surface, making this an especially distinctive collector specimen.

Saffordite is a rare natural glass found in southeastern Arizona. Although some collectors refer to it as an Arizona tektite or American Moldavite, I believe it is more accurately described as a pseudo-tektite. Its precise geological origin remains debated.
