That second specimen shows a very milky/grey color - it could also be
obsidian. It would be interesting to see a pic with light showing through
the edges of the other two.

List,

While searching the impactites on the earlier matter I ran across some
so-called "Patagonia tektites"that appear to me to be silicified fossil
sponges or some other fossil sea critter. Does anyone on this list have any
information concerning these?
The shape and one that is chipped indicate to me that we have an agatized
coral being offered as tektites. Buyer use caution!
