Tibetan Tektites Page 3

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.

Egg Shaped Tibetan Tektite

This has a great shape. Like a slightly flat egg. It fits so nicely in the palm of your hand. One side has many pits while the other side has some smooth areas and craters. A neat specimen. It has a very sweet, almost young and playful energy. Would be good for those of us grown ups who have forgotten the importance of play! We need balance between work and play!  #tektites 27

Disc Shaped Tibetan Tektite

This is a nicely shaped tektite with lots of nice craters and pits. One side has some nice smooth areas that surround an interesting shaped cluster of craters. It feels good in your hand. It's smoothness and it's weight. Comforting, somehow. It's energy is protective, nurturing and almost maternal. Interesting. It would be great to meditate with. I wonder what information it has to tell.  #tektites 28

Oval Tibetan Tektite

This tektite has some great craters! The back still has some iron and earth matter in the craters. The entire piece looks like it is a bit worn. I wonder if this was one of the stones that was used by the monks. Those tektites are said to be worn from hundreds of years of being handled. This has a nice grounded, solid feeling.  #tektites 30
