$13.00 CAD
Unit price perOut of stock
Indochinite is a variety of the mineral tektite, which is a natural glass formed by the intense heat and pressure of a meteorite impact. These tektites are usually found as small, aerodynamically shaped objects, often teardrop or irregular in shape, resulting from the molten material solidifying as it cooled rapidly after being ejected from the impact site.
Indochinites are believed to have formed around 780,000 to 800,000 years ago, following a significant meteorite impact event that likely created the Southeast Asian tektite strewn field. The strewn field is quite large, and the tektites can be found scattered over a vast area which includes Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.
This piece displays very well, showing multiple characteristics of its origin. The specimen has a weight of 4.2 grams and dimensions of 23x14x10. Comes with a MeteorPassion and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
