Tektites are gravel-sized bodies composed of black, green, brown, or gray natural glass formed from terrestrial debris ejected during meteorite impacts.

Tektites, due to being a product of extraterrestrial phenomena, are associated with worlds outside our own. They are believed to facilitate communication with otherworldly realms and encourage spiritual growth. In some traditional societies, tektites are worn to promote fertility for both men and women.

Although not a birthstone, tektite is affiliated with the zodiac signs Aries and Cancer. It is often associated with the third eye chakra.

Notable occurrences are in North America, Ivory Coast, Australia, Philippines, Java, Borneo, Thailand, and Tibet.

The name Tektite comes from the Greek word tektos, which means “molten”. Tektites are natural glass objects of meteorite origin. They are discovered as part of the driest rocks with average water content less than 0.005%. This is very unusual, as most of the craters where Tektites are dug out have been under water at the time of the fall of the meteors. Some of the Tektites are found with molten Zircons in their interior. It suggests that Tektites have been formed at very high temperatures and pressures that are not commonly encountered on Earth. Such conditions can create new compounds. The age of the Tektites is estimated at about ten million years.

There are other theories about the origin of Tektites. Because there are no noble gasses inside of them, the possibility of long distance travel across Cosmic space is less likely. The alternative theory is that they originate from the Moon. Some specimens brought to Earth from the Moon showed similar composition as some of the Tektites. However, not all Tektites display these similarities. Therefore, their origin still remains a mystery to date.
