As a relative beginner to this
meteoritical world I'd appreciate some expert advice on something
that's been intriguing me for some time.
TEKTITES !!
I've been reading up on them and I could be very
wrong but are they not just lumps of melted and solidified sand from Earth made
when a meteor collision occurs ??
There seems to be many- often hazy attempts to
explain them and there are a lot for sale on Ebay, yet when you go to sellers
personal sale sites they just aren't offered.
I've already been looking out for what I consider
meteoritical booby prizes like Faeton ! and I'm keen not to waste money on
rubbish.
Am I right to be cautious or are they genuinely
interesting and valuable additions to a collection ????
Also where does moldavite come into this
discussion? Is that also a tektite but cloaked in arty
mystery?
Thanks in advance
