AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fulgurites are glassy structures formed by lightning striking the sand. This specimen has a tubular shape and a dark gray hue, due to striking the black sand of a Hamada in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania. At one end, it has an opening that reveals its internal glassy structure; this detail is also visible in the central window, which is photographed. I acquired it in the spring of 2023. I am sending it with an IMCA 5955 certificate of authenticity.
