Tektite is a glassy object associated with meteoric impacts. The word 'Tektite' is from the Greek tektos, meaning "molten". Tektites are formed when a large meteorite strikes the Earth.

More than 2000 years ago, the Chinese referred to tektites as Inkstone of the Thundergod. Autralian aborigines refer to them as Mabon, or 'magic' and believe that finding one brings good luck. In India, they are known as the Sacred Gem of Krishna.

Meditation with a tektite will increase telepathy. Carry tektite for heightened psychic sensitivity, psychic travel, increase energy field, open and clear the lower chakras.

Libyan Gold Tektite...

A Meteorite impacted the Sahara Desert about 29,000,000 years ago on the border of Libya and Egypt. The extremely high heat melted the silica in desert sands and formed this translucent glass. It was first used by man about 10,000 years ago and was also used in an amulet by the Egyptian King Tutankhamun. It is the purest natural glass in the world. It can be heated to 1700 degrees C before it melts.

Metaphysical properties include financial prosperity, increased sales and profits, good luck, new ideas.

Libyan Gold Tektites carry remarkable energies for enhancing the strength of one's will, one's ability to create, and one's power of manifestation.

Rare - Very limited quantity. [5]

The Tektite is known for raising one’s vibrations and strengthening the aura, making it a wonderful stone for those who are working to spiritually advance in this lifetime. One can work with the Tektite during meditation to expand consciousness beyond current limitations, and bring deeper insights into current situations or problems.

Those who are having trouble with negative entities can use Tektite in their pillowcase to help deter them. Regular work with Tektite can activate and enhance psychic abilities, is thought to encourage telepathy, and can help with lucid dreaming and astral travel. Tektite can sometimes increase the frequency of synchronicities, making it helpful for manifestation programs. Those who consistently carry Tektite during their spiritual work may begin to experience a thinning of the veil between dimensions.

Tektites offer some healing energies to help with the increase in vibration of human beings. Those experiencing blockages in the lower chakras will benefit from the ability of Tektite to clear them, although it is not a grounding stone. The Tektite can create a powerful energetic link between the lowest and highest chakras, facilitating the free flow of energy throughout the subtle bodies. Working with Tektite can enhance the ability to discern between truth and falsehoods one encounters in daily life.

Physically, Tektites help to enhance and accelerate healing from illness and injuries. Placed on the Third-Eye Chakra, Tektite can enhance the integration of higher energies received from other realms. The unique energies of the Tektite are immediately noticeable to those sensitive to the energies of crystals. Tektites are commonly regarded as stones of luck in many cultures.

Currently, there is some controversy surrounding the origins of Tektite. Some archaeologists suggest that these glassy Tektites were formed by some sort of atomic explosion. Others feel that the Tektite is a natural glass formed from a meteorite impact melting the local rock. There are many theories about how this could have occurred and is the subject of continuing debates. [4]

Many varietal names are given to Tektites from different localities.

Moldavites are oval or spherical specimens of pale or bottle-green colour with few included bubbles and less obviously flattened from the Radomilice area of southern Bohemia, Czech Republic.

Bikolite is a name given to Tektites from the Bikol area of the Philippines.

Australites are button-shaped glass pieces found in South Australia and Tasmania. Billitonites are dark brown specimens found on Billiton Island between Sumatra and Borneo.

Darwinites or Queenstownites are silica-rich and alumina-poor colourless to olive green to black specimens from Jukes-Darwin field near Queenstown, Tasmania.

Tektites can be distinguished from the much more abundant volcanic glasses (obsidian) by their negligible water content. A small splinter of tektite will fuse quietly in a flame to a droplet of glass, whereas a splinter of obsidian will froth up and expand in a flame owing to its small water content turning into steam.
