Tektite Meteorite Necklaces

Real tektite meteorites! Each one is unique. Meteorites are artistically wrapped in silver-plated wire and come on your choice of chain or cotton cord necklace.

Tektites are small, glassy objects of terrestrial material that have been melted by a meteorite impact, splashed up into our atmosphere, and fallen back to Earth again. Sometimes they contain pieces of the meteorite that hit Earth. They often acquire aerodynamic shapes when they partially melt on their journey through our atmosphere. The name comes from the Greek word 'tektos', meaning 'molten'. These tektites are from Thailand (Indochinite). Many tektites from Thailand have been radiometricaly dated to be approximately 700,000 years old!
