Along with the common splash-form tektites and microtektites, they are part of a group of natural glasses created by meteoritic impacts. Unlike the homogeneous splash forms, Muong Nong tektites are less uniform, providing valuable insights into the source rocks and the impact process.\nCharacteristics and Appearance\nUnlike regular tektites, Muong Nong tektites show no signs of rotational shaping during flight. Their irregular, blocky, and fragmentary shapes are parts of original larger masses. They are known for their layered texture and increased internal heterogeneity. Crystalline inclusions have been identified within their structure—a feature absent in common tektites.\nOccurrence and Location\nMuong Nong tektites are found exclusively in the Australasian tektite strewn field. They occur in Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, northeast Thailand, the southern coast of China, and on Hainan Island. The specimens offered for sale come from the type locality Muong Nong in Southern Laos, where they were part of an original mass weighing approximately 200 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027988255045,"sku":"MN029","price":95.01,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/42488_photoroom-027-20250412-101545.jpg?v=1779378854","url":"https:\/\/moldavite.it\/en\/products\/muong-nong-147g-southern-laos-mn029","provider":"Moldavite.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
