Fulgurites are natural hollow glass tubes formed in sandy soil by lightning strikes. Lightning hits with speeds up to 140,000 mph, temperatures up to 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit that produce up to 300 million volts of energy! This strike instantaneously melts the sand around its conductive surface fusing the grains together. The cooled product is a Fulgurite tube. Fulgurites can penetrate the earth as far as 50 feet below the surface. The longest Fulgurite is approximately 16 feet long and was found in northern Florida. This genuine Fulgurite was discovered in Morocco. It comes neatly packaged in the pictured 3 x 2" case, which makes an impressive display. These pictures are representative of what you will receive, but each specimen is unique and can vary slightly.
