Tektites & Impactites
Impact Glass from Cosmic Collisions
Tektites and impactites represent some of Earth's most dramatic geological events—formed in the intense heat and pressure of asteroid and comet impacts. These natural glasses preserve a moment of catastrophic transformation, when terrestrial material was instantly melted and ejected across vast distances.
What Makes This Collection Special
- Tektites: Natural glass formed from terrestrial debris ejected during meteorite impacts, found in strewn fields across Southeast Asia, Central Europe, North America, and Australia
- Impactites: Shocked and melted rocks created at impact sites, including impact glass, suevite, and crater-formed specimens
- Scientific Significance: Each piece documents a specific impact event in Earth's geological history
- Collector Appeal: Distinctive forms, textures, and provenance make these specimens highly sought after
Authenticity & Documentation
Every specimen when applicable, comes with certificates of authenticity documenting the strewn field or impact structure of origin.
