Includes an educational geology video documenting this rare Hula Dancer Fulgurite Lightning Sand.
This Hula Dancer Fulgurite Lightning Sand is a natural lightning glass specimen from Portugal. Its curved, hollow form suggests a small dancer in motion, giving this fulgurite unusual visual appeal for a naturally formed geological object.
Lightning Made Natural Glass
Fulgurites form when lightning strikes sand and briefly melts silica-rich grains into natural glass. The result is often a fragile, hollow tube that records the path of the lightning discharge through the sediment.
Natural Hula Dancer Shape
This specimen has not been carved or shaped. Its animated form, textured sandy exterior, and glass-lined interior are natural features produced during the lightning strike and rapid cooling process.
