Imagine what this would look like if it were made with a quantity
of pallasite thin sections.
THAT would be a sight to behold.
Maybe I'd better declare it copyrighted so I don't loose
the idea----

Subject: [meteorite-list] Darryl Futrell Tektite Lamp
Hi List
Unfortunately I never knew Darryl Futrell. I have, however, read many of
his articles which I certainly find interesting even if I do not agree
with the conclusions.
In an article titled 'The Lunar Origin of Tektites' in Rock & Gem Feb 1999
there is a photo of a fantastic Tektite 'Tiffany' Style lamp. This was
made by Dan Wright from natural un-cut thin splashform tektites from
Thailand. See it here:

Does anyone know what happened to this lamp? Also are there any more in
existence? It is a fantastic piece!
Regards, Aubrey

Dear List,
Saturday, 21 July 2001, Darryl sent me these lines:
"Would you believe I have a letter from the Chinese Academy
of Sciences
in Beijing, from one of their top two tektite researchers,
inviting me to go
there and do tektite field work with them?"
Monday, 13 August 2001, Darryl passed away after a severe
heart attack.
Of course, he would have loved to accept this invitation,
but, alas, in the
same mail he also wrote:
"Six or more years ago, I would have gone, but now there's
no way."
Best wishes,
Bernd
