Discovered in the Australasian strewnfield, Tektites are gravel sized bodies composed of black and other colors of natural glass formed from terrestrial debris ejected during meteorite impact with Earth.
This Tektite was aerodynamically shaped, 14-20 centimeters across. Impact was estimated at .77 million years ago. It was cut by a lapidarist, leaving the natural edge on one side.
