This fulgurite weighs 1.71 grams or approx. 8.5 carats. It is a long, rounded piece with a good amount of surface area for the weight.
Fulgurites are formed when lightning strikes the silica-rich sand dunes
in the Saharan Desert. The same nomads who pick up meteorites, also
harvest these fulgurites. These have a bumpy, glassy texture and some
are hollow. Each one is different and represents natures glass-making
process. Your purchase includes a data label.
