Fulgurite ODDITIES-1
$48

Beautiful, wonderful, weird – Wow!

This is definitely one of the nicest specimens in the group. A major fulgurite branch (an inch across) passed between two larger rocks, fusing onto them but becoming distorted in the process. The rocks are irregular shapes, and make up much of two of the external sides of the fulgurite. One rock still shows the mottled pink of the original granite parent material, the other has been altered to the fulgurite-grey, with charring evident.

The fulgurite itself has a wonderful huge bubble at one end, air passes through it out a small branch stub. The other end has positively great green glass. There are various other smaller bubbles, samples of other glass colors, small rock fragments, and great charring.

Overall size is about 2" x 1"

Fulgurite ODDITIES-2
$18

A curious, fine-grained, light-weight, rather porous branch end termination. It has a bulbous contorted shape. Some white and clear glasses, and moderate bubbles are exposed at the open end. A few other bubbles breach the outer surface of the shell.

Approximately 2" x1" , but contorted.

Fulgurite ODDITIES-4
$42

WOW – a real winner! The interior is beautifully glassed in a rich black. The exposed bubbles are large and you can actually see through the length of the fulgurite in a single long narrow tube. Has a major branch stub and several minor stubs or bubbles opening into the interior. Nice external charring and a good selection of rock fragments on the shell. This is a super specimen for display, but not tough enough to be a hand-around sample for a class.

Approximately 2" x .75" .

The electrical charge from the lightning strike was clearly having difficulty making a decision about which way to go here! These aren’t really branches, but more like exploratory forays and direction changes. White, clear and black glass and a good bubble in the exposed end, with nice salt-n-pepper rock fragments on the outside there. The far end is a very fine grained uniform grey – we believe this is what happened when the charge enters a pocket of higher organic matter.

About 1.25" x 1"

Fulgurite ODDITIES-7
$18

Lovely small specimen of a fulgurite branch fused onto a rock, which still shows some of the pink pre-strike color. The fulgurite itself is the typical grey color, has a nice cylindrical shape, bubble in one end and small rock fragments embedded in the outside.

The fulgurite is about .75" x .25" .
The rock it is fused to is about .75" x .25"

Fulgurite ODDITIES-8
$14

A precious little fork where one branch splits into seven smaller branches. Beautiful white and green glass. A perfect bubble, nice exterior charring andgood included pebble.

About 1.5" x 1"

Fulgurite ODDITIES-9
$14

An interesting and unusual fork where one branch splits into five smaller branches. The photo is taken with it sitting on the fat main branch. Nice white and black glasses and various bubbles.

About 1" x 1"

Fulgurite ODDITIES-10
$12

This is a large rock of the pinkish granite parent material with a small split-open (not a full round) fulgurite branch section fused to part of it. You can see white- and black-glass lined bubbles on the inside of the fulgurite and some of the external grey shell. The main rock will probably wash up a bit brighter if you want.

The fulgurite is about .75" x .25" .

The rock it is fused to is about 4" x 2" x 1"

Fulgurite ODDITIES-12
$15

This is a large rock of the dark pinkish granite parent material with a small split-open (not a full round in places) fulgurite branch section fused to part of it. You can see good white, clear, and green glass on the inside of the fulgurite and some of the external grey shell. The main rock shows some great charring and a couple faint and narrow fulgurite traces leading out from the main piece.

The fulgurite is about 1.25" x .25" .

The rock it is fused to is about 3" x 2" x 1"

Fulgurite ODDITIES-13
$18

This is a neat one! A short section of complete hollow-tube fulgurite fused to a large absolutely charred-black rock. You can see through the complete fulgurite tube from one end to the other. It has nice clear glass and a thin outer shell. There is a second, much smaller, but similar fulgurite tube fused to another part of the rock.

The larger fulgurite is about 1/2" x 1/3" .

The rock it is fused to is about 2.5 x 2.5" x 1"

Fulgurite ODDITIES-14
$42

A really perfect example of a fulgurite (in grey) fused to a pink parent-material granite rock. The contact zone is charred black. The fulgurite is a perfect cylinder and it is firmly attached to the rock. Nice clear and white glasses and moderate bubbles exposed at either end. The exterior shell has a good variety of smaller rock fragments bristling out from it. The rock also has another smaller fulgurite glass trace across it.

The fulgurite is about 1.75" x .5" .

The rock it is fused to is about 3" x 1.5" x 1.5"
