Indochinita tektite meteorite from Laos (Indochina), 2.55 g, mounted in silver metal and on a 925 silver chain.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
2.55-gram Indochinite meteorite. It has a jet-black color that, when exposed to intense light, takes on a translucent yellow-brown hue, a secret optical signature of the tektites from Southeast Asia. It is mounted in silver metal and linked to a modern cord-type chain in 925 sterling silver.
This is a tektite formed 800,000 years ago by the impact of a giant meteorite in Southeast Asia, which instantaneously melted sedimentary rocks and silica-rich soils. The molten material was ejected out of the atmosphere and, upon re-entering it at high speed, the molten glass cooled rapidly and the friction with the air sculpted the material, giving it various shapes and roughness.
It is attributed with various energetic properties and as a shield against negative energies.
Customs duties outside the EU will be borne by the auction winner.
