AMERICAN SONORAN DESERT

BOULDER, Colorado SOLD
OUT
The fulgurites pictured directly
below are from Boulder Canyon, Boulder County, Colorado. All are a solid type of fulgurite.
Though not a likely fulgurite producing area, Colorado does receive a fair
share of lightning strikes. In this instance sufficient sand was available to
create a few fulgurites. There is evidence of branching and all have a few
unmelted stones adhering to the specimen. Please order by number.
KERMIT, Texas SOLD
OUT
The fulgurites from the Kermit, Texas, area are similar in appearance to the
fulgurites from Egypt. Most are exquisite hollow tubes; however, a few are
partially sealed. The coloration is somewhat lighter than the Egyptian
counterparts. Please order by specimen number.
PANTANO, Arizona SOLD

Quartzite, Arizona. These small specimens are partially hollow and have good
