Colombianite Piedra de Rayo – Stone of Lightning Pseudo-Tektite, 16-22mm, 4-6g | Colombia Natural Healing Crystal

Overview

Colombianite, also known as Piedra de Rayo or Stone of Lightning, is a rare ancient form of glass shaped by volcanic activity. Resembling tektites, it is classified as a Pseudo-Tektite and is estimated to be around 30 million years old. When held to light, the dark exterior often gives way to a white or smoky translucence, creating a striking visual contrast that makes this piece stand out in any collection.

With a Mohs hardness around 5.5 to 6, Colombianite is commonly found in small ovals or spheres with natural pitting and grooves on the surface. The stone carries a rich cultural history, with the Muisca people venerating it as a sacred material used in spiritual practices and as a symbol of connection to the earth.
