Tibetan Tektites

Tektites are made of a glassy material that is very silica rich, harder than natural glass and void of much water. This makes them different than the other glass like materials that are naturally found on the earth, like volcanic glass. Their origins are still debated by scientists. Some people feel they were originally meteoric material that had most of the iron content burn off, or become separated from, as it came through our atmosphere. Other people believe that as asteroids or meteorites have impacted the earth, the surrounding rock, or pieces of the meteorite, gets basically hurled back into space. When they fall back, they are falling so fast through our atmosphere that they stretch or flatten. They have distinct round patty shapes, or some are like dog bones or dumb bells, while others are tear drop shape. They have pits and mini-craters and wonderful markings. They are also called impact glass. Most are black and opaque unless you get a very thin piece, then you can see they are amber or root beer brown in color. The exception is Moldavite, which is a lovely green.
Tektites are mainly found near the sites of meteor craters. However, more tektites are being found farther away from the usual five known sites, which makes one wonder what impact sites we have yet to discover. Tibetan tektites, also known as Tibetanites, fit into this category. They could be part of the Australasian strewn field. They are similar in appearance to the Indochinites. But these were found in dry lake beds in North-central Tibet.
Viewed as gifts from heaven, the Tibetan tektites are cherished by the monks and lamas who use them as meditation stones. They aren't the only ones who feel these "stones" have positive energy. Many cultures feel the tektites can help you connect with extraterrestrial beings and knowledge. They are also used for protection, good health, and good luck. They have a higher vibration than many stones but not as buzzy as moldavite. Many people find Moldavite hard to be around. Tektites have a gentler yet still powerful energy. When working with them in pairs, one in each hand, you can really have a fascinating experience. If they start to feel kind of quiet, gently tap them together and they come right back to life. Very interesting tools to use in meditation, healing and energy work.
These particular tektites came from a Tibetan man who brought tektites and Tibetan quartz out of the country over 50 years ago. He just stored it all away until just a few years ago. We were able to get some wonderful quartz and tektites from him. We feel very lucky to have been able to have these powerful tools come our way. We haven't been able to find any others, so what we have is it.

Disc Shaped Tibetan Tektite

This is a nice, palm sized tektite with great markings. It is nice and flat. It has a lot of craters and an indentation along the top. There is a slight chip at the top left side of the indentation. You can see it in the picture. This stone is about connecting you with the cosmos. It would be good to meditate with as it feels like it has a large amount of information to share. #Tektite-31

Thick Tibetan Tektite

This is a little fatty (this is an endearing term). So cute. It has wonderful craters all around and most have iron rich mud in them. They could be cleaned out fairly easily, but we like the grounding effect of it. And it needs it, as this is a buzzy tektite. Central channel worker. A great piece. #Tektite-32

Tibetan Tektite with Great Markings

This is another thick tektite that fits nicely in the palm of your hand. It has some really interesting craters. There is a nice display of pits and craters, and then there is an area that is fairly smooth. Then there are some elongated craters and they make interesting patterns. It has a gentle energy, very spiral like.  #Tektite-33

Large Tibetan Tektite

This tektite is a nice large size, but it is thin so it is lighter than some of our other large tektites. It has a nice combination of pits and craters, as well as some smooth areas. It has a nice balance. The energy of this one is kind of hard to explain. It feels like it is magnetic, like it is pulling stuff out of you. It also feels like it would be a good one to use along with another tektite. Interesting healing tektite.  #Tektite-39
