Fulgurite "Marathon Runner" Formed by Lightning!

Have you ever heard of a marathon runner made out of sand? It may sound like something out of a fantasy novel, but in reality, it is the fascinating result of one powerful force of nature - lightning. This open chamber fulgurite is shaped in the form of a marathoner runner.

What is a Fulgurite?

Fulgurites are formed when lightning strikes sand, fusing the grains into glass tubes or shards. Commonly referred to as “fossilized lightning,” these formations captivate scientists, artists, and storm enthusiasts alike. They gained pop culture fame from the Hollywood movie Sweet Home Alabama.

Exquisite Natural Detailing

This unique fulgurite features an open front chamber, allowing you to view its exotic glass-lined interior. Its color palette includes shades of black, gray, and white. The texture is visually striking — the back has a "bushy" appearance, showcasing clusters of welded sand grains naturally stacked by heat and pressure.
