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!  #Tektite-27

Large Tibetan Tektite

I like how this tektite looks like someone took a bite out of it! It's a good sized tektite with a nice shiny black color. The center is slightly indented on both sides. There aren't any areas that are smooth, the surface is solid pits and craters. It's a great looking tektite. Energetically, it is rather gentle until you pick up another tektite. Then there is some serious buzz. Some tektites like working with other tektites. This is apparently one of those. That doesn't mean it can't be used alone, it can. It just really comes fully awake when used in conjunction with another tektite. Sometimes tapping them helps them wake up a bit too.  #Tektite-74

Nicely Marked Tibetan Tektite

This tektite has a nice black color, is slightly indented in the middle on both sides and has some really nice markings. The markings are nice deep pits, craters of various sizes, some smooth areas and a part that looks like the tektite was stretched a bit while it was hot. Some of the pits still have some dirt and/or iron in them. The energy of this tektite is very grounding. There is a nice "just do it" kind of energy as well. All in all, a neat tektite.  #Tektite-75

Club Shaped Tibetan Tektite

This tektite has a neat shape, a mini-club. It has great pitting and craters of various shapes and sizes. Some of the pits have some iron in them. The energy is grounding with a light underlying buzz. It is another one that would work well with another tektite. A nice one to do some astral traveling with.  #Tektite-76

Semi-Round Tibetan Tektite

I didn't quite know how to describe the shape of this piece. It isn't quite round. It is somewhat egg shaped, if the egg was deformed. It is thicker than many of our other tektites. It has a lovely dark black color and nice areas of pitting. There are some craters nestled into some smooth areas as well. The edge of one elongated crater is slightly chipped, so you can see the shiny black material that is usually hidden beneath the rough surface (the price has been discounted). The interesting thing about it's energy is that you don't feel it in one particular area. It's "buzz" travels the entire length of the central channel, all at once. Interesting!  #Tektite-80
