Discover our carefully curated collection of genuine Tektites, naturally formed glasses created during some of the most powerful meteorite impacts in Earth's history.

Unlike volcanic glass such as Obsidian, tektites are produced when a large meteorite strikes the Earth's surface with immense energy. The heat generated during the impact melts terrestrial rocks, ejecting molten material high into the atmosphere where it rapidly cools before falling back to Earth as natural glass. The result is a remarkable family of impact-generated specimens, each preserving evidence of one of nature's most extraordinary geological events.

Tektites have fascinated scientists and collectors for centuries because they represent the direct consequences of hypervelocity meteorite impacts. Their distinctive shapes, textures and chemical compositions provide valuable insight into ancient impact events and the geological environments in which they formed.

Our collection includes a range of genuine tektites sourced from recognised strewn fields around the world, including well-known varieties such as Moldavite, Libyan Desert Glass, Indochinite, Australite, Darwin Glass and other authenticated impact glasses where available.

Every specimen has been carefully selected for its authenticity, quality and scientific significance, making these remarkable natural glasses ideal for collectors, educators, museums and anyone interested in planetary science.

Many people also appreciate tektites for their symbolic association with transformation, cosmic connection and personal growth. These metaphysical properties are based upon traditional spiritual beliefs and are not scientifically proven.

Whether you are beginning a tektite collection or searching for an exceptional specimen, our collection offers genuine natural impact glasses representing millions of years of Earth's geological history.

What is a Tektite?

A tektite is a naturally occurring glass formed when a large meteorite impacts the Earth's surface. During the impact, enormous temperatures melt terrestrial rocks and sediments which are ejected into the atmosphere before cooling rapidly into glass.

Unlike meteorites, tektites originate from Earth rather than from space. Their formation requires extraordinary impact energies that cannot be reproduced by volcanic eruptions or ordinary geological processes.

Because each strewn field has its own geological characteristics, tektites display a wide range of colours, textures and shapes depending on their origin.

How are Tektites Different from Meteorites?

Although both are associated with meteorite impacts, they are fundamentally different.
