Agni Manitite
Agni Manitite, also known as Pearl of Fire, is an exceptionally rare tektite found on Java Island, Indonesia. It ranges in color from dark charcoal grey-black to smoky translucent. Its name comes from the Sanskrit term "agni mani," meaning "pearl of the divine fire." These tektites formed from a meteorite impact, heating the surface enough to liquefy it, resulting in a mineral from outer space. What makes it rare is that most pieces are now underwater, making it hard to find. Unlike Moldavite, which can be found by plowing fields, Agni Manitite is elusive.
