Tektite - 017
Description: This listing is for the exact Cali Crater Tektite pictured.
Weight: Approx. 20.90g
Properties:
Despite its large landmass, only 9 impact craters formed from extraterrestrial bodies have been discovered in South America. This is tektite meteorite from the newly discovered Cali Crater in Colombia. Geologists have recently determined that this material has no chance of originating in this region. That means it came from somewhere else! These tektites are beautiful quality and brownish to greenish glass material. They are 75% Si02 + 25% titanium and aluminum. You might remember that titanium and aluminum are present in Blue Sapphire. This similarity is due to the meteorite hitting a Sapphire-rich area before spraying out hundreds of miles, quite like Moldavite. So, there’s a little touch of Sapphire energy in here and paradoxically, it’s the titanium and aluminum that proved these tektites were not from Earth. The Sapphire material was so far away from the area of collection, geologists know that something had to cause great impact in the Sapphire area, fuse terrestrial and extraterrestrial material, and blow things out far and wide. These are special tektites! Be prepared for an adventure.
