Fulgurites are uncommon, naturally occurring glass. This premium fulgurite is mostly gray, interspersed with bunches of white and gray sand grains. This is a great gift idea - captured "fossilized lightning" under a domed glass with a dark walnut base!

The tube is lined with smooth glass, which is readily seen at the top. This is a lightning sand glass tube made entirely from a lightning strike.

Fulgurites are created by the heat of a lightning bolt, hotter than the surface of the sun, fusing sand into a tube-like form. This lightning sand glass is just like out of the Hollywood movie, "Sweet Home, Alabama," only it is the real stuff!

The total display with dome size is: 4 1/4" H X 2 7/8" diameter. Fulgurite size: 2 1/4" X 1 3/8" W X 1 1/4" D.
