Tektite

Tektites are small, pebble-like glassy objects of Earth material that have been melted by meteorite impact, splashed up into our atmosphere, and fallen to Earth again under gravity. They often acquire aerodynamic shapes when they partially melt on their return journey. Their name comes from the Greek word 'tektos', meaning 'molten'.

Here we have two tektite earrings, the same style with a spinel set ontop but the stones have slight differences.

1. Slightly longer. Stone length around 25mm. Length, not including hooks, approx. 35mm

2. Slightly Shorter. Stone length around 23mm . Length, not including hooks, approx. 33mm.
