Lightning plays a very crucial role in the formation of the Fulgurite stones because the electrical charge produced when lightning strikes the sand releases heat as high as 1800 degrees Celsius. This causes the sand to vaporize, thus melting the silica around the contact point where the lightning strikes, eventually forming the hollow glass tube through which the lightning has passed. An extremely high energy stone, Fulgurite is a purifying instrument that is known to awaken one’s sense of a higher purpose. The stone has several physical, spiritual, and metaphysical uses that are best observed when kept in a person’s surroundings to clear the aura and allow its vibrations to work. IMPORTANT: Fulgurite is a natural piece of "glass" fused by lightning through sediment. Your piece is coated with a thin layer of resin for protections but does not make it indestructible. Please treat your pendant as you would any other piece of fragile jewelry.Fulgurite (Lightning Glass) Pendantshttps://static.wixstatic.com/media/a2d9b2_cdd4b01f297c4ed396c909cb4bb4c6d3~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_500,h_500,q_90/file.jpghttps://www.newenglandknots.com/product-page/fulgurite-lightning-glass-pendantsNew England Knot CoNew England Knot & Chain Cohttps://static.wixstatic.com/media/a2d9b2
