Description from the seller
Moroccan Fulgurites – Set of 4 Natural Specimens
Description
Set of two fulgurites from southern Morocco, in the Ouarzazate region.
Fulgurites are natural formations that can form when lightning strikes silica-rich ground. The intense heat partially melts the material, which then solidifies into structures that are sometimes tubular.
These two specimens have elongated, irregular shapes, rough, grainy surfaces, and natural shades of brown, ochre, and rust. The broken ends reveal lighter areas that contrast with the outer surfaces.
Each piece has its own morphology, making this set particularly interesting to mineral collectors, geology enthusiasts, and fans of natural curiosities.
This set offers an original display of formations attributed to the action of lightning on sandy ground.

Seller's Story
We have been meteorite hunters for a long time. Passionate about these objects which are pieces of interplanetary space, we are delighted to be able to offer, through our collections, exceptional pieces, which everyone can obtain to have a part of the sky in the palm of their hand.
Have you ever observed the Milky Way? Have you ever observed a shooting star? Have you ever wondered where this one fell? In any case, we do and were even able to collect some by hand to send them directly to your home.
Each of our meteorites is unique and carefully selected before sale, cleaned, often treated, sometimes sliced and sometimes polished using specific equipment.
Based in France, we provide meteorites from many different countries across the planet. These objects have traveled staggering distances to end up on our shelves and perhaps even in your home.
We provide certificates of authenticity for each piece.
We make it a point of honor to offer quality batches, sent carefully and quickly across Europe with a tracking number.
