Tektite's story is its power: these are stones made in the moment sky met earth, terrestrial rock melted by a meteorite's impact and thrown molten into the air, cooling into glass as it flew. The modern crystal tradition reads them accordingly, as stones of the meeting place between the cosmic and the grounded, kept for work that reaches upward without leaving the body behind; Judy Hall's tradition associates tektite with the higher centers and with strengthening the connection between them and earth. Raw, pitted, and strange in the hand, they make arresting altar stones and conversation-starting pocket pieces. The glass does not act on its own; it holds the sky-meets-earth register while the reaching stays yours.

1. Anchor a meditation. One in each hand suits the tradition's earth-to-sky framing.
2. Post it on the altar. Raw tektite is the most storied black stone a shelf can hold.
3. Pocket a piece. The pitted texture makes an absent-minded touchstone.
4. Cleanse simply. Rinse and dry, or moonlight; glass is easygoing.

Is tektite a meteorite?

No, and the truth is better: tektite is earth-rock melted by a meteorite's impact and flung molten into the sky, cooling into natural glass as it flew. A collaboration between visitor and ground.

Why are the pieces so irregular?

They are untumbled, exactly as the impact shaped them: pitted, sculptural, and individual.

What is tektite worked for?

The modern tradition keeps it for sky-meets-earth work, connecting the higher centers with grounded practice, per Hall's association with the upper chakras.
