Rare large 131 Grams Fulgurite Lightning Stone Florida 131g Rough Raw Mineral

Description: Rare large 131 Grams Fulgurite Lightning Stone Florida 131g Rough Raw Mineral This is a Beautiful one of a kind huge piece of Fulgurite This specimen was found in Northeast Florida near St. Augustine. Fulgurite Heres is some copy and pasted info from Google about Fulgurite: Fulgurites (from Latin fulgur 'lightning', and -ite), commonly called "fossilized lightning", are natural tubes, clumps, or masses of sintered, vitrified, or fused soil, sand, rock, organic debris and other sediments that sometimes form when lightning discharges into ground. When composed of silica, fulgurites are classified as a variety of the mineraloid lechatelierite. When ordinary negative polarity cloud-ground lightning discharges into a grounding substrate, greater than 100 million volts (100 MV) of potential difference may be bridged.[2] Such current may propagate into silica-rich quartzose sand, mixed soil, clay, or other sediments, rapidly vaporizing and melting resistant materials within such a common dissipation regime.[3] This results in the formation of generally hollow and/or vesicular, branching assemblages of glassy tubes, crusts, and clumped masses.[4] Fulgurites have no fixed composition because their chemical composition is determined by the physical and chemical properties of whatever material is being struck by lightning. Fulgurites are structurally similar to Lichtenberg figures, which are the branching patterns produced on surfaces of insulators during dielectric breakdown by high-voltage discharges, such as lightning. This makes for the perfect specimen to add to your collection if your a mineral collector. Rock hound or collector of amazing things. Fulgurite specimens also make great teaching tool for science classes. When two pieces of Fulgurite clink together, they sound like two pieces of glass clinking together. Truly a unique natural wonder This piece weighs 131 grams 131g Please use pictures for reference 🔴FREE SHIPPING
