Tektite Healing Properties

Tektites are thought to facilitate spiritual growth and personal transformation. They are believed to help individuals release old patterns, beliefs, and emotional baggage, allowing for personal evolution and spiritual advancement.

These tektites are associated with grounding energy and protective qualities. They are believed to shield the aura from negative influences, electromagnetic radiation, and psychic attacks, providing a sense of energetic protection.

Some people believe that tektites enhance intuition, psychic abilities, and spiritual insight. They are thought to open channels of communication with higher realms and facilitate spiritual downloads and guidance.

History and Uses

The name Tektite comes from the Greek word “tektos” meaning molten. They are found in shades of black, green or grey and are 14 million years old. They are regarded as talismans of luck in many cultures and have been used to accelerate healing from illness and injuries.

They are often regarded as sacred stones and are highly valued in Tibetan Buddhism. They are believed to hold spiritual energy and are used in various spiritual practices and rituals.

Geological Description

The term “tektite” refers to natural glass objects that are formed when meteorites impact the Earth’s surface. Tektites are usually black or dark brown in colour and have a distinctive shape, often described as teardrop or button-shaped. They are composed mainly of silica, with varying amounts of other elements depending on their specific composition.

Their crystal system is amorphous and they have a hardness of 5.5 to 6.5.  There is debate as to whether Tektites were themselves meteorites, terrestrial rocks melted by meteorite impact, or some fusion of terrestrial and extraterrestrial material. Tektites have been found in Australia, North America, Africa, China and Southeast Asia.
