Fulgurite is an extraordinary natural glass formed when lightning strikes sandy soil or dunes, producing a rare and fascinating geological marvel. This intense heat from a lightning bolt fuses sand grains into distinctive tubes or branching structures known as petrified or fossilized lightning. Found in Algeria’s Sahara Desert, where vast sandy landscapes and frequent storms create perfect conditions, these fulgurites vary from delicate small tubes to complex patterns. Composed mainly of silica, fulgurites capture the unique texture of sand, formed in a flash at temperatures reaching 30,000°C (54,000°F). Owning one means holding a stunning piece of nature’s power and beauty.
