Description
Tektite Tumbled stones are unique, polished tumbled crystals made from natural glass formed during ancient meteorite impacts on Earth. Meaning “molten” from the Greek word “tektos,” tektite has a dark black (or sometimes olive-green) appearance with the look of molten rock, created when tremendous heat and pressure from meteorite strikes melt surrounding rocks and eject molten material into the atmosphere, which rapidly cools and solidifies mid-flight. Thought by many as a stone of magic and gemstones from space, tektite vibrates with ethereal, otherworldly energy from its extraterrestrial origin.
Key Metaphysical Properties: Tektite is an extremely powerful stone of empowerment that radiates protective energy, helping you throw off negativity and restore free-flowing energy in your aura. It facilitates astral travel and communication with higher consciousness, expanding consciousness to the highest frequency. Tektite is believed to help align all seven chakras but especially stimulates the Third Eye Chakra, Earth Star Chakra, and Soul Star Chakra. It’s prized for luck, manifestation, heightened intuition, perseverance, and spiritual/personal growth.
