STERLING SILVER TEKTITE EARRINGS..............................$22.00
These sterling silver earrings feature an unusual material...Tektites.
Tektites are small, pebble-like glassy objects of Earth material
that have been melted by meteorite impact, splashed up into our
atmosphere, and fallen to Earth again under gravity. They often
acquire aerodynamic shapes when they partially melt on their
return journey. Their name comes from the Greek word,
“tektos” meaning “molten”. The first written reference to tektites
was about one thousand and fifty years ago, by Lui Sun in China,
who gave them a name meaning “Ink stone of the Thundergod”.
Our tektite earrings are a semi-transparent black color and dang 5/8”
from the French hook style ear wires which are accented
with gold-filled beads. This item comes gift boxed.
