A few corrections: Microtektites (belonging to the Australasian strewn field) have been found at multiple localities in Antarctica. Darwin is 1844 not 1857. The Australasian crater is believed to be around 40 km across by all reasonable and scientific estimates of the ejecta - 15 km is way way too small for the energetics. Australasian strewn field has no known craters (but a crater does exist)... the suggestion of 20 craters is made up - this is found absolutely nowhere in the scientific literature. The Apollo modules were not modelled on tektites. The research on tektites was somewhat of an offshoot of the Apollo program and went hand-in-hand, but did not lead to the design per se. Also worth mentioning Bediasites, Belize tektites, and Ivory Coast Tektites, plus related material like Darwin Glass and Atacamaites. Just for clarification, those interested in tektites should be aware that Agni Manitite, Saffordite, Colombianite, Healdsburgite, etc. are volcanic obsidian and have nothing to do with tektites (other than commonly being fraudulently sold as such). Also be aware that the Moldavite market is flooded with fake glass from China, so buy with extreme caution.
I have collected tektites in Texas, Georgia and Cayo, Belize. Thanks for calling out Agni Maninitite, Saffordite and the rest for the fakes that they are,
It's fascinating to know these tektites/moldavite gemstones also how they are formed and history.😯📖💎☄ I never knew about them.🤔 Thanks for sharing👩🏫 and nice video.🙂👍💎
I just bought one and it’s kicking my a** so much change in just 5 days like damn I knew I was going to rapidly change my life but not this far. First thing moving to a better place leaving an old home that is not longer serving me
first time on this channel and I am distracted because we look much alike, face, hair, hands, I also wear black often and talk wih my hands too, in a similar expressive way. We might be from a same starseed ?
i found a pocket but lot of Gost woooooo was guarding it so i collect and they push me away in the air (i do Ninja) whatever lit of people lost their mind their but here I am healthy like horse (8448)
Columbianite next! Its a pseudo tektite I think. a volcano erupts and send the bits into the atmosphere and they cool on re entry just like tektites but it originates from volcanoes instead of meteor collisions!
Being a collector and recently getting into tektites, I was BLOWN AWAY to learn about Georgiaites. I’m from southeast Georgia and we mainly hunt for fossils but have found many rocks and gemstones throughout our hunts! I never knew my state had tektites! I’ve become full blown obsessed with gemstones and also this channel! Thank you for all the information it really is so interesting.
Me too me too, except I'm in Texas and tektites in the town I live in are called Bediasite, said to be from meteor impact about 34 million years ago.. what what. Wow. I'm obsessed too, and I feel like Bediasite should be worth more than diamonds. It certainly is rarer and ridiculously old, and the pieces I found look brand spanking new. Incredible. Somehow, I also developed an obsession with gemstones due to my Bediasite obsession. I'll be learning how to faucet gems here very soon once I figure out what machinery I want/need... I have a strange gut feeling certain tektites will become extremely valuable when the trend takes hold.
Wow thanks for leaving a comment, I totally missed that and had to watch the video again. Missed hearing that because the video shows a rock that looks just like what I found in my yard when I was a kid and I never knew what it is... I kept it for like 20 years and it just vanished where did it go
I found moldavite in mountains of Pennsylvania I also found ancient tools pottery and a large tooth I will show you anytime it's a beautiful place twin lakes Pennsylvania
I have a Moldavite pendant costing £42 (>$60)... although I still doubt its authenticity. Oh where is the beautiful Natalie? I haven't seen her for 6 months and I am soooo missing her! 💕💕💕
Make sure it is a vintage piece from the 90s or older. Because tektites , specifically Moldavite, hadn't yet become worth making counterfeits. No it's not flawless ,but it should help. Natalie was transitioned out. That's why all the guest host stuff was happening. She was training her replacements. I miss her point of view as well. She was charming and smart. The new hosts are good, but...they are also the kids of the CEO of JTV . Which is also on its way out .to be replaced by another gem related website.
@@tanjamirt4002 an inch long by a quarter inch wide. I see fakes costing much less so I thought this would be genuine. I rarely wear it as I feel it's fake.
So Im going to guess this is a longshot but Ive found something I think is Georgiaite. if you search these words you should find the vid, dont need to watch it or anything cause the pic on the vid should be enough for someone with experience to identify. search these words :) Libyan Desert Glass, Common Tektite, And what is the Orange one? Thanks if anyone took a look. its really strange looking. has this blueish tint all over it.
Incase people are wondering, naturally made glass does indeed count as a gemstone. It doesnt have to be a Feldspar, Quartz or anything else that takes millions of years to form to be a gemstone.
Hello, for months I couldn't find my moldavite. I came across the stone in one of my purses, it had the appearance as if - it had grew bigger. So, could someone give me some information on whether they have experienced this?
@@Tektitesinfo there's something like that, but I'm selling it as agnimanitite instead of calling it tektite. You must know Tektite Billitonite, and I have 2 kg
We're not aware of any tektites that have been found in that area, but the good news is that there are many fantastic minerals that can be found near you, including garnets, mica crystals, sapphires, aquamarines, peridot, rubies, and more!
Thanks for the information! Something to mention since I'm from Florida and partial to the area: the beach sands of Indian Pass deserve mention because they're the whitest in the world. I envision pecky cypress with inlays like orgonites for a chair to meditate in while I drink a tea made with gensing and tupelo honey... maybe self heal or something if I luck up and catch it taking over the garden. So says the voice of the continuum. I have an adventurous miner to relay this video to. I'll post it to his calcite clam dig. I'd imagine he would like to find one of those special pearls of wisdom! And it's near the coral castle. It needs shungite! Maybe we'll find some here too? It wouldn't hurt the gulf at all, that's for sure. Better it than the disbursement. Hind sight is 20:20. Blessings!
There's so much variety of natural glass! I love moldavite the best!

I uploaded a video with a theory on a possible crater for the Australasian field.
Thanks, yeah it’s so scary buying now online, so many fakes, any tips howto tell? Or just stick with reputable sellers
I have collected tektites in Texas, Georgia and Cayo, Belize. Thanks for calling out Agni Maninitite, Saffordite and the rest for the fakes that they are,
Pretty sure the glass from China is real glass. The glass is real, but they use real glass to make fake tektites
terra utah i found the australian looking ones

Antarctica is not in south america
Have you found any?
I lived in the south my whole childhood and am thinking of planning a trip to georgia and texas to look for tektites

There is a huge volume of fakes from China.
How big is it ?

What are the chances of finding greenish to yellow flat tektites covered in white oxidation in Trinity County texas?
Tektites can be found in Antarctica and South America, but they are very rare and scattered.
Hello, for months I couldn't find my moldavite. I came across the stone in one of my purses, it had the appearance as if - it had grew bigger. So, could someone give me some information on whether they have experienced this?
Darwinite is my favorite
Some Wolf Creek meteorites have a green marble , ( assay high Ni , Pt ) in side like a mini planet .
Moldavite got me.
Bediasite in Texas
I have found over 800 bediasites.
@@brimane that is awesome!
What is molten greenish glass on branches and leaves on the ground ?
Great vid :) very informative even if one thought they knew a decent amount about tektite
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do tektite valuewable?
less satam stone / billitonite and agnimanitite 😁
I have 3 tons agnimanitite and billitone 2kg
Agni Manitite are obsidian, often fraudulently sold as tektites.
@@Tektitesinfo there's something like that, but I'm selling it as agnimanitite instead of calling it tektite. You must know Tektite Billitonite, and I have 2 kg
I love tektites!
Who wants to buy?
Australite
Great video I live in the blue ridge mountains of Virginia. Is there much of a chance of finding any of them in this area?
Thank You for sharing!
