Fulgurite
Fulgurite
Item #240
Fulgurite is the "fossil" of a lightning strike. These formations are a natural glass formed when lightning strikes the Earth, melting the silica (sand, dirt, etc) in that spot. When the melted silica cools, what's left is a structure representing the lightning bolt.
For a brief moment, each fulgurite was once the hottest spot on Earth's surface. A perfect addition for your fossil or geology collection.
This listing is for one to two fulgurite formations (depending on size) displayed in an acrylic case. Size range: ~0.5" to 1". Images are representative of the specimen you will receive but may not be the exact item.
- Lighting fossils
- Once the hottest spot on Earth

WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY
You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.
We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.
With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.
Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.
