Unfortunately, due to an insufficient budget Instead of buying a nice chunk of Moldavite I was forced to purchase an alternative to Moldavite known as Tibetan Tektite.
The owner of the Crystal store told me that it also has a high vibration like Moldavite as well as similar properties. It's an elongated black piece pitted with little holes; instead of translucent green like Moldavite. I have found little-to-no information about Tibetan Tektite, it's metaphysical properties, or it's likeness to Moldavite on the Internet.
I was wondering if anyone could share any information regarding Tibetan Tektite and it's metaphysical properties? I'm hoping that I didn't get duped by purchasing a piece of Tibetan Tektite instead of shelling out for some Moldavite.
Cheers,

The problem with Tibetan Tektites (in the tektite community known as Tibetanites) is that most of them being sold as Tibetan Tektites are not genuine. They are real tektites but they are almost always the much more common tektite Indochinite, or Thailandite. Real Tibetanites fell in Tibet which as you probably know is close to China, but there is a difference between the two. They pretty much look close to the same they are very similar looking in almost every aspect but the locality of where a piece drops can totally change it in many ways. The variations in Moldavite of different localities alone is incredibly vast as well as most other tektites. Phillipinites come in several different variations as well. I imagine Tibetanite is a variation of a Indochinite, but it's still not the exact same thing. Where the piece falls determines it's elemental and chemical make-up and so there are differences between the variations of each tektite sub-group, and sub-type. The chemical make-up of a stone plays a huge role in it's metaphysical properties. One piece of Moldavite will have more iron in it than another giving it a deeper green color, well more iron in a stone gives it a different metaphysical property.
Real Tibetanites are worth quite a lot more than Indochinites as well as Thailandites. The real Tibetan Tektites that the books are speaking about fell in Tibet, not China or Thailand and were worn smooth by the hands of Tibetan Monks over generations of holding them and using them in their rituals. As you can imagine all this work the Monks did with the Tibetanites instilled incredible metaphysical properties and powers into the Tibetanites. Unfortunately 99.9% of the stuff being sold as Tibetanites didn't fall in Tibet, a Monk never touched it, and doesn't have the same mystical properties. All tektites have metaphysical properties but the Monks working with them for countless generations amplified their true power. Thanks for listening!
