Fulgurite is a glassy tube formed when lightning strikes the sand or rock. Lightning carries extremely large amounts of static electricity which is discharged in a very small spot, and the temperature there has been calculated to be hotter than the surface of the sun. The heat is intense enough to vaporize the sand at the center of the strike and to melt the material around the edges. The tube is formed from the melted sand and the hole down the middle is where the vaporized material had been. Fulgurites come in various shapes, sizes and color. Some can be hollow tubes and others can be glassy on one side and sand/rock on the other. Fulgurites are among the most powerful stones for manifesting one's visions through the power of prayer. The lightning energy, long believed to be the touch of the Divine, still resides in them, and they can act as magnifiers of one's clear intention, building a powerful resonance between oneself and the latent powers of the higher worlds. Fulgurites have a strong, high-frequency vibration, and they seem to hold a clear resonance with the powerful electrical force that created them. Holding a Fulgurite, one may sense a vortex of energy whizzing through the chakras and all levels of the Light body, purifying and cleansing the entire system. There may also be a strong arousal of the Kundalini forces of creativity and inner power. Fulgurites are powerful for grounding the Light body and manifesting one's higher purpose. Fulgurite is a stone of prophecy, opening the higher chakras to Divine energy. It opens and clears the psychic and intuitive senses and can assist one in rapidly connecting with the frequency of the Divine through prayer or meditation. Fulgurite is especially helpful for those ready to experience major breakthroughs and to release habit patterns that no longer serve. Fulgurite will assist you in brining your thoughts into form, so be sure to hold positive thoughts and do this work only after surrendering to the Divine. This will ensure your creations serve the highest good!

Lechatelierite Var. Fulgurite is the varietal name given to fused Quartz, Si02, which has been fused by the action of lightning striking the Earth and locally melting the sand. The best known Fulgurites are found in Quartz sands, where the Fulgurites take the form of tubes, sometimes exceeding a half inch or more in diameter. This type of formation is called a Sand Fulgurite. As the lightning strikes the Earth and courses downward through the sand, the sand is instantly super heated (i.e., melted and fused). After cooling, glass-like hollow tubes (Fulgurites) can sometimes be located beneath the surface of the sand, generally decreasing in diameter and sometimes branching as they descend, sometimes extending for several feet. The outer surfaces sand fulgurites are often rough with adhering, unfused Quartz sand grains. The inner surfaces and openings of the tubes are usually smooth and glassy, in some specimens resembling an applied glaze, sometimes with blister-like bubbling present. Rock Fulgurites are formed when lightning strikes the surface of a rock, melting and fusing the surface, and sometimes the interior of the rock.
