Tektites are a type of natural glass formed from the intense heat and pressure of a meteorite impact. When a meteorite strikes the Earth with enough force, it melts the surrounding rock.

 

That molten material is ejected into the atmosphere, where it cools rapidly while flying through the air, solidifying into glass before falling back to Earth.

​

Although they are not meteorites themselves, tektites are born from the same extraordinary collision, shaped by heat, pressure, and movement. Each piece is a symbol of transformation and a reminder that beauty can emerge through force and change.
