Tibetan Tektites Page 2

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 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.

Unusual Tibetan Tektite

This tektite has an unusual shape. Half of it is rounded with pits and pock marks. The other side is concave and then there is a flat part that you can see in the upper right part of the photograph. Inside the indentation there are a couple of smooth chip marks. I don't know what the tektite landed on to give it this shape. It's an interesting tektite to hold, as your thumb fits right into the indentation. It has a vortex like energy, not overly buzzy.  . #Tektite-63

Slightly Worn Tibetan Tektite

This is another one of those odd tektites that is slight worn, almost like it has been lightly sanded. But this one is only slightly worn on one side. Both sides have many pockets and dips. The one side has a nice black color. The bottom edge is smooth. It has a nice weight and fits very nicely in the palm of your hand. A great meditation stone. It is very grounding, which is unusual for a tektite. But it feels like your feet are sinking into the ground a bit when holding it. A neat tektite!  #Tektite-64

Tibetan Tektite with Nice Markings

This tektite has a great shiny black color and neat markings. There is nice pitting along with smooth areas. It's a nicely balanced tektite. The energy is nicely balanced as well. It feels very grounding along with a bit of a buzzy, clearing energy. A gentle, sweet tektite.

Nice Tibetan Tektite

I love the markings on this tektite. One side has some nice clusters of pits surrounded by smooth areas. The other side is slightly concave and it has lots of pits and a good size crater. This is a buzzy, very alive feeling piece. #Tektite-66

Oval Tibetan Tektite

This is a nice sized tektite that has nice color and great markings. The pits are of various sizes and along the back there is a line, like someone took a knife and cut the tektite while it was hot. It has smooth edges. It's a nice looking tektite. The energy is well balanced, with a nice buzziness while staying grounded. A good combination.   #Tektite-67

Circular Shaped Tibetan Tektite

This is a nice, circle shaped tektite with a nice shiny black color. It has some nice smooth areas as well as areas of nice pitting. The energy is rather quiet, but felt like it was working at the heart chakra. It's as if it is waiting to fully come to life until it's in the right persons hands.   #Tektite-68

Teardrop Shaped Tibetan Tektite

This tektite has a great teardrop shape. Unfortunately, the tip got chipped, as you can see in the picture. What I like about the chip is you can see the shiny black material that lays hidden beneath the rough outer layer. The rest of the tektite has wonderful pitting of various shapes and sizes. The energy of this piece focuses around the 6th and 7th chakra. A great tektite if you are trying to open those areas up.  #Tektite-71
