The name “tektite” is derived from the Greek word ‘tektos’, which means ‘melted’. And that is no coincidence, because tektites are no ordinary earthly stones! This remarkable piece of rock is a ‘glass rock’ formed by a meteorite impact. When the cosmic object strikes the Earth with enormous force, the rock at the impact site melts and the molten material is hurled back into the atmosphere, creating this ‘strange’ little chunk. Tektites therefore often have an aerodynamic shape, with constrictions, ridges or smooth surfaces.
A tektite can be seen as a fusion between the Earth and the cosmos. This makes the stone rather special – its origin is neither entirely earthly nor entirely extraterrestrial. They carry the energetic memory of a cosmic moment of impact and transformation, and this is what makes the stone so powerful for spiritual purposes. It is a powerful energy, and it is good to be aware of this when working with this stone.
Due to its extraterrestrial origin, Tektite has a powerful effect on the third eye and the crown chakra. This stone can help you with astral travel. Your astral body (soul) detaches itself from your physical body. Some people can control this during meditation. You can read about what astral travel might mean for you in a inspiring blog by Sahvanna Arienta. As well as this effect, the Tektite can also help you connect with higher dimensions and experience lucid dreams.
When you start carrying a Tektite with you, you will begin to feel your frequency rising. You may notice this through increased sensitivity, clairaudience and the feeling that you can see through the veil of the physical world. As you allow your light to shine brightly, other people may feel drawn to you and seek you out without really being able to explain why.
The intense energy of Tektite stimulates the aura and can clear stagnations or blockages. It acts like a cosmic vacuum cleaner, loosening old patterns. A Tektite is not a stone used for grounding, but it does help to cleanse the lower chakras. The enormous power present at the time of this stone’s formation has been stored within it. This energy has an intense effect on your energy field. Energetic waste is, as it were, burnt away.

When you start working with Tektite, you will find that your spiritual development accelerates. Old beliefs are let go of and intuitive abilities are strengthened. The stone can help you make contact with the extraterrestrial realm and explore other planets and solar systems through astral travel. It can give a sense of coming home to people who feel a connection with extraterrestrial entities and to star people.
Tektite stimulates the flow of energy from the Earthstar chakra (the chakra located about one metre below your feet) to the Soulstar chakra (the chakra located about one metre above the crown of your head). You may experience this as a tingling sensation or a wave of energy coursing through your body. This also helps to clear any blockages, allowing your energy to flow freely.
So do bear in mind that the energy is quite intense, and start off gently by placing the stone next to you first, and only later carrying it with you.
