Fulgurite Specimens For Sale!
The Oddities Series
Unusual samples of various sizes.

Return to Fulgurite home page

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.
Orange is lichen on the outside. Please ask if you need more information on any item.

ID # Special Characteristics	Each photo shows a different side or end of specimen.
Fulgurite ODDITIES-1 $42 A lovely and highly unusual specimen with several pure white glass tubes fused to a pink parent rock (granite). A smaller tube curves around the back side (not so visible in photo) Sadly, the photo does not do this delicate and intriguing sample justice. About 1.5" x 1" (incl. rock)
Fuglerite ODDITIES-5 $ 10 A lovely, delicate specimen that is just bristling with branch nubs (splits from one to nice sub branches in the space of an inch). Mostly white glass with a nice bubble in the big end. About 1" x 1/2"
Fulgurite ODDITIES-6 $14 This sample certainly belongs in the "oddities" section! It is rather egg-shaped spheroid that (as far as we can see) has no connection to any other fulgurite section at all - no open ends. Our guess is that it formed near some organic rich soil, where the energy from the lightning dissipated in burning the organic matter, effectively severing the connection to the rest of the fulgurite. It is a good conversation piece - how DID it form?? About 1.5" x 1"
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-11 $10 A delicate little fork where one branch splits into four smaller branches. The exterior surface is a uniform deep grey with quite smooth texture. Black glass, small bubbles. About 1" x 1/2"
Fulgerite ODDITIES-12 $12 This nice specimen has well developed bubbles in the two main branch cross-sections, several smaller branch stubs, white and black glass, varied exterior texture including some that is very smooth. About 1" x 3/4'.
