When a meteorite hits the Earth, sediment and rock are often melted and ejected into the air. As this melted rock falls, it quickly cools and forms into a glassy rock called a tektite.

Have you ever found one to be half green and half black?

@keanewells8451 3 месяца назад

I found some amazing pieces in one area I now need to get a isotope test to confirm

@Jakeandhaylee 19 дней назад

Yes and supposedly those pieces are from chunks of Earth that left the atmosphere and rained back in when a giant meteorite hit our planet. How deep did you find them? Just a few inches? I found one 3 in under the ground where our soil is soft indicating that it's only been here for a few years. But hey we got to believe the scientists.

@Jakeandhaylee 19 дней назад

Aka most of these are meteorites the scientists don't want to admit it.

@naturalhealingmexico Год назад

Can tektites have magnetism in them as meteorites? I found a few tektites very rusty by the high iron content in them, and they attached to magnets ...but must if the info online says that tektite are made by quartz, etc. Can you help me out please? Thanks in advance

@robertwilliamson922 Год назад

No. Whatever it is you found, they are not tektites. Where did you find them?

@naturalhealingmexico Год назад

@@robertwilliamson922 at the pick of a mountain, they totally look like taktites some of them have part of the metiorite from the melting -cooling process , those are the ones with magnetism ...it is possible to send you vid and pictures? Thanks again

@LI-Guru 10 месяцев назад

Awesome.. so interesting.. I wonder can a meteor be attached to a tektite??

@naturalhealingmexico 10 месяцев назад

@@LI-Guru I sent a few samples to a mineralogist , he confirmed it's IMPACTITE rarer than tektites and even meteorites , I have some more on sale if you are interested.

@Jakeandhaylee 19 дней назад

Such a ridiculous theory on how these things are formed. Imagine how big the meteorite would have to be that impacted Earth to throw materials out of the atmosphere for them to rain back in. You might as well just say they're the same types of material that you can find on Earth but they were in a meteor when it came in contact with the atmosphere. There's no way they would be as common as they are all over the world if it was from huge impacts. Especially since you can find them only a few inches underground and fresh without all the black oxidization. "I'm a scientist"

Tektite meteorite is not magnetic
