Philippinite tektites

Posted by Unknown on 2:15 PM



Philippinite tektites are part of the Australasian strewn field covering at least one-tenth of the Earth's surface, is the largest and the youngest of the tektite strewnfields. The 700,000 year-old strewnfield includes most of Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Southern China, Laos and Cambodia). The material from the impact stretches across the ocean to include the islands of the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Java and reaches far out into the Indian Ocean and south to the western side of Australia. The impact crater may have been between 32 and 114 kilometres in diameter. Also, some recent estimates suggest that the strewn field may cover 30% of the Earth's surface Among the most interesting of tektites from Australasian strewnfield with those from the Philippines. 

 

The Philippinite tektites are found in every shape form of the strike from other areas. Surface that match nicely breadcrust sphereoids counterparts in both the curve and polygonal forms. However, they are often small beautiful textured surface and finer texture and light sheen. Their surface is often smoother in appearance. Skin texture, but with this they may wind channeling and grooving deep into the skin. This U bottom grooving has been the subject of much study and debate. Is it chemically formed or is it somehow the result of cracking in the thin cooled surface with later shrinkage of the molten center material. Whatever the cause it has produced strikingly beautiful tektite specimens. One especially nice Philippinite type is the sphere and spheroid form. These often-grooved tektites outstanding in any collection. Place of origin is often the only remember them by nature.

Tektites are natural objects, which have been formed by the impact of large meteorites on Earth's surface. Tektites are among the "driest" rocks. They appear black, but when held up to the light, you can sometimes see a golden tint in translucent areas around the edges. Its slightly worn surface is pitted with tiny aerodynamic holes. Thailand tektites are known as “Indochinite” which have been shown by K-Ar radiometric age dating to be approximately 700,000 years old. Scientists believe that the tektite's origin is the result of meteorite impact on either terrestial or lunar rocks. The tektites then formed when molten rock, created by the meteorite's hyper-velocity impact, flew through the air hardening into natural glass with aerodynamic forms and surface features. Beautiful, black, shiny, and well formed might all be descriptive words that apply very well to the splash form tektites found in Thailand. Dumbbells, Teardrops, Ball,Rods, Patties, Spheres, and all the various in between forms are found in this region of the Indochinite strewnfield Thailand received a good portion of that material.. Not large numbers of new specimens are being made available from Thailand so very high quality older supplies show how really nice this material is. The surface texture is rich with bright shiny cups and pits. The surfaces show the twisting of the molten glass in visible surface flow lines. The ever present bald spot is generally found on all larger splash form tektites and that is the case with Thailand splash forms as well. 

             Tektites are healing stones that help protect the aura against negative alien interference, help in removing negative energy implants, protect energy; help in grounding into Earth reality, bring safety and security, evokes positive help from non-Earth sources, makes one a channel for extraterrestrial help for the planet, assists one in attaining knowledge and learning lessons throughout the travels of life, balances the feminine/masculine, provides insight, strengthens one's energy field and can stimulate thought transmissions. With the tektites’ ability to absorb the energy around them, people use them as the sacred amulet stone, people wear them as the protection stone.
