Lot 145 | SOLIDIFIED LIGHTNING: FULGURITE
Valeur estimée
£ 5 000 – 8 000
In a mere fraction of a second, a stunning work of nature was created through the powerful fusion of lightning and earth. The sheer force of electrical potential, measuring at a tremendous 1 billion volts, ignites the air to an astounding temperature of 30,000 degrees Kelvin. When the elements align, the resulting energy can liquefy the earth, forming a unique glass known as lechatelierite, or fulgurite in Latin.
