I set this Indochinite Tektite cab in a sterling ring that i designed for free form stones. It protects this natural glass without overwhelming the stone. The ring is a size 7 1/4 but sizing is not a problem simple convo me about what you need. It weighs 8.1 grams with the stone weighing 3.6 carats. The stone has the natural surface left on the the top and the bottom is polished so you can see into the stone. The same way I Cut My Libyan Desert Glass.

Included in your purchase price is a felt bag (you can request but I do not guarantee a color) to keep your new treasure in.
Description of Tektites
This natural tektites has great surface features. Scientists believe that the tektite's origin is the result of meteorite impact on either terrestrial or lunar rocks. The tektites then formed when molten rock, created by the meteorite's hyper-velocity impact, flew through the air hardening into natural glass with aerodynamic forms and surface features. Tektites are fascinating when you get to know and understand them. This type referred to as “Indochinites” are unique compared to other tektites in that many re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere in a molten, or at least semi-molten, state. Indochinites have been shown by K-Ar radiometric age dating to be approximately 700,000 years old, and are found within a narrow equatorial belt 80 degrees wide. They have been found in Thailand, Australia, Viet Nam and the Philippines. Tektites usually have a heavily pitted surface. Many have the appearance of being stretched while in a molten state. They appear black, but when smaller, thinner ones are held up to the light, you can sometimes see a golden tint in translucent areas around the edges.
Other types of tektite include Moldavite and Libyan Desert Glass. There are far fewer tektite localities on Earth than there are impact craters. This is because tektites, being made entirely of glass, dissolve slowly with time. Therefore, tektites are only preserved in abundance from large, young, impact events.
Composition: Si02 for the indochinites and the other tektites can have trace elements of the source meteor or comet.
Hardness: 5 a natural glass.

Tektites have a different vibe to them. Zingy and expansive they literally take you to new heights. The black ones, do it by grounding their energy through you and cleaning up whatever is in the way so it can ground.
