Fulgurite tends to have an irregular shape, making measurements of dimensions somewhat arbitrary.
Instead, I have photographed them on a background with about a 3/4" square grid. Yellow label is 1.5 x 2" wide.
Horizontally, four pink blocks is about 3". For close-up detail of grain, see Series D photos.
The orange is lichen on the outside. Please ask if you need more information on any item.

Fulgurite B-1 This 4.5" x 2" segment is the fork where the trunk split into two branches so there are three open cross-sections to show a great variety of glass colors and bubbles. There are also five small branch nubs. This lovely specimen demonstrates a nice range of included rocks, even one that is nearly 3 inches long! |

Fulgurite B-2 This is an absolutely beautiful specimen, illustrating all of the most interesting characteristics of fulgurites, all in one fairly sturdy piece. The largest end has a huge black-glass lined bubble, more is than half an inch across and runs all the way through to a matching bubble in one of the branch stubs (you cannot see through it, but air goes through easily). The other end is the fork where the main branch split into two sub-branches. White, clear, and black glasses are exposed in other places. The outer surface is clean and nicely charred from the moment of creation, with delicate detail and a good pebbling of rock grains. About 2" x 1 1/2" |
