Hi List,

A few weeks ago when we got married at the Meteor Crater one of the
crewmembers gave us a private rim tour. As a kind of wedding gift he gave
us this piece of glass like material which he found on the rim some
thirteen years ago . It has some grayish flakes included and even clearly
visible flowlines. It has a kind of tektite like exterior. It is no
fulgurite for sure but what is it??

Anyone who can help us with this?. I haven't seen any of this before.
