Thanks to all on this talks. I enjoy all the info. Let me introduce an Indochinite in my collection: 1,042 gram, ~ 6x4x3", flow lines on all surface, damage-free, boat-shape, one end heavier. I put my tektite collection in a Special Exhibit case during the Denver Gem & Mineral Show in 1999(?). Museums, such as the Smithsonian and American Natural History, and famous collectors put up those exhibits for education purpose. Would everybody be interested in bringing his/her largest/best tektites for a collective tektite exhibit during the Denver and Tucson gem show (main show)? Maybe Anne Black and I can coordinate it for Sept's Denver show. It will be more fun to look at these big tektites. They are extremely difficult to find. I went through perhaps 10 tons to find a piece over 1,00 gram!

I would guess that the layering planes are more or less parallel to Top and Bottom as indicated by the cube, and seem most visible in the lefthand shadowed side of the Angle 1 photo. The horror is that the only way to be sure is to damage the item, I suspect. Sterling K.

Michael, This may be heresy, but the broad rounded grooves and tiny pits look Muong-Nongy to me. 3 kilos is a MONSTERous departure from any splashform known. Give it a close look. Not all Muong Nongs are conspicuously layered--- I betting Muong Nong.
