Hey all,
On my recent adventure to the Tucson show I purchased many meteorites
and about 6 kilos of tektites, in the batch of tektites I found an odd
piece. Now I'm very familiar with chondrites but know little to nothing
about tektites. Can someone please tell me what I'm looking at here.

Ted, Thanks for the input...
It looks metallic, and it's non-magnetic so I doubt it's iron. It's in
two places, the inclusion in the tip end of the tektite is darker in
color which looks more like corrosion or tarnish. Using the pick on it
did nothing as it is embedded in the glass very
Bob,
Nope! Not sure at all.. That's why I sent the email to the list, in the
hopes that you guys might know.
Metallic looking minerals in tektites just seem odd to me, and being as
this is my first experience with tektites I figured I'd inquire if this
were normal... Apparently it's not so

Phil, That's the closest thing I've seen. That might
be it.
