Well, if you want to get picky, technically you can get that type of
material from an iron meteorite, although I'm not sure I'd call it a
tektite. Canyon Diablo is well known for having partly vaporized on impact;
the resultant iron vapor recondensed and seeded the desert for kilometers
around with metallic droplets that cooled into tiny spheres. I don't think
there was any mixture of gas and solid, though. Either the fragment
remained metal all the way down, or it vaporized on impact.

Hello,Thank's for your replies to my query on Metal Tektite's!..What if
the Impactor were "metallic",and in the vaporization and remixing
process,not all of the "metallic" bolide completely vaporized?..it then
recondensed,remixed,and got ejected as an "metallic"
object?...Thank's!..Kevin W.Decker.
