In fact they are green obsidian (volcanic glass), nothing to do with the tektites. It seems to me, the word tektite is quite widely used in these african ones, and I´m affrraid also the brass ones are the same origin. Anyway, in the cutted gems it´s quite difficult to see the difference between the tektite and the volcanic glass, so the way to sell these as "tektites" looks at least questonable to me. best regards, pekka s Impactika_at_aol.com wrote: > Hello members, > > What do you think of this one? > > http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2660158204 > and there are several others. > > Did any of you ever hear of these?
