Tektite & Impactite Meteorites

Tektites are unique natural glassy objects found on Earth's surface, formed from the intense heat and pressure generated by meteorite impacts. They typically exhibit a dark coloration, ranging from black to dark brown, and come in various shapes, including spherical and irregular forms. Impactites are a diverse group of rocks formed as a result of meteorite impacts on Earth's surface. These rocks undergo extreme temperatures and pressures during impact events, leading to their unique characteristics.
