Abstract
The discovery of thin rays extending outward from bubbles in indochinites and a moldavite adds another link to the evidence that tektites formed very quickly at high temperatures from terrestrial rocks, and cooled rapidly. The rays have a refractive index between 1.49 and 1.51, which is in the range of refractive index of albitic glass. The rays may be the result of explosive volatilization of a hydrous sodium aluminum silicate.
