Details:

These are fantastic supernatural stones that I fell in love with!! They are the deepest black with a "bubbly" surface. They are not sparlky like druzys in the quartz family. These the surface is formed by contacting cooler earth around them, so they are a bit smoother and MUCH more opaque. They are REAL and NATURALLY occuring, they are sliced so that there is one very smooth side and one rough side. The hole is drilled along the longer edges.
They are freeform shapes as formed in nature so the sizes are ESTIMATES. They range in size from 22mm x 17mm to 17mm x 14mm yours will be chosen at random. The bottom edges are very smooth and polished (perfect for bezel setting) or to use with head pins or on silk or bead wire. These are so rare and useful!!
You must see these!!
Tektites (from Greek tektos, molten) are natural glass objects, up to a few centimeters in size, which ¿ according to most scientists ¿ have been formed by the impact of large meteorites on Earth's surface. Tektites are among the "driest" rocks, with an average water content of 0.005%. This is very unusual, as most if not all of the craters where tektites may have formed were underwater before impact. Also, partially melted zircons have been discovered inside a handful of tektites. This, along with the water content, suggests that the tektites were formed under phenomenal temperature and pressure not normally found on the surface of the Earth.
