Lightning Sand Sterling Silver Pendant

Amazon Price: $85.00 (as of 05/31/2012)

This Fulgurite was naturally made when lightning struck sand. When this happens, the lightening melts the sand and hollow glass tubes form in a process that takes about a second. It's a really amazing geologic process, and now you can buy a beautiful pendant featuring the Fulgurite.
