Description: Meteorite Tektite Weight: 80.4 grams Size: 4.5 x 4.3 x 3.7 cm Location: Discovered at Maoming, Guangdong Province, China This natural tektite was found in China. It is opaque and becomes thicker out toward each end, and it has interesting aerial surface features in very good condition. This tektite is known as an "Indochinite", which have been shown by K-Ar radiometric age dating to be approximately 700,000 years old. Scientists believe that the tektite's origin is the result of meteorite impact on either terrestial or lunar rocks. The tektites then formed when molten rock, created by the meteorite's hyper-velocity impact, flew through the air hardening into natural glass with aerodynamic forms and surface features. An interesting piece to add to your collection!
