AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fulgurites are glassy structures caused by lightning strikes on sand. This specimen has a tubular shape and a dark gray hue, resulting from impact on the black sand of a Hamada in the Sahara Desert in Mauritania; additionally, embedded Sahara sand can be seen in its channeling. One end features a double opening that extends along the entire fulgurite, as shown in the included photo. I acquired it in spring 2023. It is sent with an IMCA 5955 certificate/authenticity card.
