I'll buy it back of you don't love it...
Tektites are still poorly understood. They are irregularly and at times intricately-shaped nodules and blobs of a glassy substance. They have no crystal structure, and are therefore similar to obsidian, but are not associated with volcanic processes. Their chemistry is unique and somewhat unexplained. The leading theory concerning their origin is the "Meteorite Impact Theory". It is postulated that many odd events occur during a meteor's impact because of the tremendous heat and pressure produced. Tektites may be fused glass that formed during an impact of a meteor with layers of rock on the Earth's surface. Tektites occur in broad bands in specific localities in different parts of the world. These bands produce characteristically similar tektites and are sometimes loosely associated with meteorite craters or suspected craters. Could these fields represent splash material from an impact? Many believe so and this idea is gaining acceptance from many scientists. The odd and diverse chemistry of the tektites could be a result of unique meteorites hitting unique rock types with the combinations producing particular effects. Many tektites have a teardrop shape that could easily form as blobs of liquefied quartz cooled in air while falling to the Earth.

For all my International friends the postage is 9.00 for this auction. For each additional meteorite auction (each 30 grams or less) it's 1.00 more on the postage. It's a little cheaper on mail going to Canada, so I'll lower the postage costs going to Canada if you buy 3 or more meteorites..
For all Meteorites mailed to USA addresses there will be a Delivery Confirmation slip on the package. See PayPal for the tracking info..
