Mini-moon
Trans-illuminated on flashlight, this spherical mass of glass is the result of a meteoric impact in Columbia. The impact melts the ground and ejects the molten material which subsequently congeal in globules of glass that appear black on the outside and are often translucent, like this specimen. They have crater-like dimples and are not meteorites; they are of this earth. Columbian tektite on LED.
