Fulgurite Lightning Sand - Fractal Tree

Fulgurite "Fractal Tree" Multicolored Lightning Sand

This is a stunning and authentic “fractal tree” fulgurite lightning sand sculpture — an exceedingly rare lightning-formed glass specimen featuring multiple fused fractal-like arms near the top. Its unique structure includes a prominent hole at both the top and bottom, with a smooth glass-lined interior formed by the intense heat of a lightning strike.

True Rarity in Nature

This fulgurite showcases a grayish-white exterior with accents of tan and darker sand grains—an exceptionally rare multicolored variation. Few fulgurites form with the distinct branching appearance of a “fractal tree,” making this an extraordinary collector’s piece.

What Is Fulgurite?

Fulgurites, often called “fossilized lightning," are created when a lightning bolt strikes the ground and fuses the sand into a hollow, glass-lined shaped tube. The result is a natural glass sculpture, fused by the extreme heat of a lightning bolt. This exact phenomenon was popularized by the Hollywood movie Sweet Home, Alabama.
