I have noticed the smaller tektite from the ivory coast tend to have more scoriation and deeper more abundant pits and flow lines. While the larger ones over 70 grams tend to be smoother. With smaller pits. As far as tektite sizes what would be considered a large one? I have some small almost rings where the ends are tapered so they look like a lock washer but they are small about 3 grams average. Yet most pattys are over 70grams cheers Steve
