Most fulgurites are fairly small, and although
all the fulgurites shown on these pages were purchased through
of the fulgurites found there are like the Saharan Desert Fulgurites shown here, and are often sold in bulk in lots weighing about
20 grams or one ounce.
If you're thinking of buying some fulgurites, I suggest shopping around because some of the sellers, especially the ones not on Ebay,
have a rather inflated idea of what fulgurites are worth!
The outer layers of fulgurites may are often light brown but can also be yellow, dark brown, black, green or even off white,
depending on the composition of the sand and surronding material in which they formed.
Hobbyists collect fulgurites for their novelty and scientific value, but many see fulgurites as having
mystical powers as well!
