Mysterious mineral from meteorite fell to Earth causing shock

When a meteorite crashed into Earth, a strange mineral called Tektite was formed, possessing a mysterious origin that scientists are constantly searching for.

Originated from meteorite impacts. Tektites are formed when meteorites hit Earth, melting rocks and sending them flying into the atmosphere before falling back down. Photo: Pinterest.
