Hi
The biggest Muong Nong-type tektites appear to be in the Laos-NE Thailand
border and in Hainan. For sure they are very proximal tektites/impactites. I
think the microtektite distribution pattern is a better indicator though as
it's going to be statistically more reliable. All the evidence
, but nowhere near a world record breaker!

Hello Steve, All,
I've hear tell (and seen photos) of a Muong Nong layered tektite in
the 40-50kg range in Thailand, but the asking price was around a
dollar a gram. They do come big, but they're rarely seen above about
a kilo or so.
Regards,
Jason

For any interested in this topic, Aubrey Whymark has a nice page on
large tektites here http://www.tektites.co.uk/largest_tektites.html.
You owe it to yourself to have a look at the rest of his site as well.
It's very comprehensive.
FYI,
Phil

Hello Paul,
I don't see any picture of your giant but according to your description,
it indeed seems to be the indochinite N° 1 in size (weight) so far.
Congratulations!
Is it a Chinese Guang Dong type ? Or...?
So far, I haven't found yet elsewhere a bigger vietnamite than my 705.4 g
splash
Hi Anne, Sterling, Norm, Aubrey, Dieter, all
Sterling, thanks so very much for your first compilation on world tektite

This may be heresy, but the broad rounded grooves and

Very interesting, Sterling.
And what is the largest Moldavite known?
I just acquired a big one, a nice tear-drop shape, 6.5 cm long, 39 grams
exactly.
Am I in the running?

I have an Indochinite that is nearly flawless
that is 3,255.6g. I believe it is only one of the
largest 5 in the world - but I think it is the one
in best (flawless) condition of those 5.

Michael,

Michael and List Members,
Norm is correct; your tektite is a Muong Nong type
tektite (layered tektite) and not a splashform
Indochinite. It could be from Laos or China. The
largest Muong Nong is perhaps one in Bangkok,
weighing-in at 28Kgs.

I'm wondering-- do all tektites protect the aura against negative alien
interference,
Michael and All,
The Five Ducks are a bunch of theives selling fake
meteorites and now mis-labeled tektites from Laos at
crazy prices (and illegally exported?). Beware of the

Hi Zelimir,
- How heavy is the biggest Rizalite known on earth ?
You may be right, that the 1069 g Rizalite specimen, mentioned by H.O. Beyer
ist the heaviest Philippine Tektite.
But there is one Rizalite in my collection, that is even larger: It is a 1009 gram splash
form Tektite from
Hi Dieter,
That's the reason why I asked the weight (mass), not the volume, nor the
fictitious weight. I well know the hollow tektites from Norm's site. They
can have densities even lower than 2.
I conclude that, so far, after the Beyer's N° 1, you have the number 2
(1009 g).
Hi, Zelmir, List

internet, I compiled this list
of the Biggest Tektite (excluding
layered tektites) from:
Australia.437 g.
