Meteorite Authentic Giant Squid Eye Tektite // Museum Display

This jaw-dropping collection from RARE-T features a staggering array of authentic antiques, artifacts, oddities, skulls, and cruelty-free taxidermy from various eras in history.

This custom museum display showcases an Authentic Meteorite's ORANGE 'SQUID EYE' Tektite, caused by ferricrete adhesions. Large and small impacts have affected Earth since its formation 4.55 billion years ago. Compared with the intensely pitted and cratered Moon, Earth has relatively few preserved impact craters, because they have been destroyed by water and glacial erosion. Impact events are accompanied by tremendous amounts of heat, resulting in melting of much of the ejected pulverized bedrock at ground zero.

The melted material cools quickly, and falls back to Earth in the form of impact splash glasses, also known as tektites which are principally composed of amorphous silica (SiO2).

Unique and one-of-a-kind, you'll receive the exact piece shown in the photos. Protected under plexiglass in a custom display to keep it looking pristine, ensuring protection of your investment while allowing you to fully appreciate this piece of collectible space history. The customized descriptive metallic plaque, in addition to the detailed finishing add to the elegant, gallery quality look. Complete with a certificate of authenticity, this piece is an investment that will only get better with age.
