Tektites are black alien crystals that come from meteorite impacts. These crystals are shiny and resemble oil and tar. Some confuse them with obsidian stones. However, tektites are actually forms of natural glass. Regarded as somewhat magical in power, ancient people used to gather these tektites and use them to make amulets. Different tektites come in various colours ranging from brown, black, yellow, green, grey and even opaque. The term comes from the Greek tektos which means "molten". These glassy stones are associated with the crown chakra, the star signs Aries, Cancer and Sagittarius. Regarded as otherworldly as they come from the stars, tektites have long been considered as "heaven's emeralds". Tektites are also thought to be from Thunder gods after a rain, according to an old book by Liu Sun, who lived during the Tang dynasty, 900 BCE. That was the earliest written mention of tektites. Linked also with healing properties and enhancing telepathy, people can wear tektites also for its lustre and prettiness. So for this I wanted to share an image of my own Mjolnir pendant made with tektites, as this is truly a lovely gift from my boyfriend.
