What's a "Fulgurite"? This large specimen you see above from the
Libyan Desert shows what happens when LIGHTNING strikes SAND !! "Fulgurite"
means "lightning" in Latin, folks. Each flash of lightning
releases an average energy of 1 billion Joules. Air temp may reach 10,000
- 30,000 degrees K., with currents from 10-100KA for microseconds. It
vaporizes sand and rock to make amorphous glass. Tubular fulgurites may
reach over 8 meters, but are fragile. What an interesting thing to add to
your rock & mineral collection! We make them very affordable, though
smaller...most still have a hole where the lightning went through.

| FULGURITES from
West Texas
A private collector walked the sand
hills in West Texas and picked up these fulgurites over the last 15
years. He found many of them during the 100 year drought in sand
blowouts. Weather has now returned to "normal" and he
found fewer and fewer. Over the last 10 years there were no seasonal
ponds in the sand hills, now there are hundreds of ponds where the blow
outs used to be. So this is a limited offering of fulgurites from a
little known area.
