A very informative site, Daniel! Thank you!

 

I particularly thought that the tektite lamp was a beautiful and ingenious use for "scrap" tektites. (I think there would be a market for more!)

I found more details on its creation here: http://www.meteorite-times.com/jims-fragments/tektite-lamp/

 

Cheers,

Pete

> Hello all,

> I am looking to either trade or sale this nice stretched tektite. These are very rare and hard to find. I am very reluctant to let this piece go but I want to expand my collection. If you have a special tektite or an offer I "might" be willing to let it go.
