This is a 3.1 oz, oval shaped, 2.1” by 1.6” by 1.4” rare Agni Mani stone from Indonesia. This tektite is rounded on the sides and oval overall with a latish base and suede-like feel. Judging from a broken one in the lot that arrived, they are very glassy inside which suggests either a volcanic obsidian-like ejectite (pseudo tektite) or a true tektite similar to the Tibetan tektites. Or it could be an impactite which is what the Libyan Desert Glass is, caused by a meteor striking the Earth, melting that earth in the heat of the meteorite and its impact, and then the molten debris forming into a glass. There are many volcanos in Indonesia so truly any of these is possible. I rather go with the impactite-tektite. In any case, when you put a strong backlight at an edge behind this Spirit, you can see it is an opalescent gold but the density of the stone makes it appear quite uniform and black. This is a stone of legend in Indonesia, also bears the names Pearl of the Divining Fire, Stone of Shambhala and Cintamani Stone.They are difficult to find among the native gravel and many are below the ocean waves.
