Very nice hollow 9,5 cm long Fulgurite.
Sold with its piedestal.
Found January 2022 in the Ténéré sand desert, Sahara, Niger.

The fulgurite (from the Latin ¨fulgur¨, 'lightning') is a tube shaped metamorphic rock, composed of lechatelierite (glass silica) that can be found in sands or sandstones. Its formation is due to the strike of an atmospheric lightning. The lightning strike on a sandy land causes the fusion of silica beads, since the temperature can reach 4000 degrees Celsius and up to a depth of more than one metre, but in a very narrow area.

The formation of fulgurites is a rare phenomenon, and extracting a whole one is complicated because of the fragility of the mineral, which is easily breakable.

The fulgurite of this lot is complete self/healed , 9,5 cm long and light/sweet color, with some holes and it shows nice 3D sculpture still with sand from Sahara attached to it
