$775.00

Artist: Josh Simpson

Item: One-of-a-kind handmade sculpture.

Location: Victor Showroom

Aspect Ratio: N/A

Tektite glass: Years ago, a friend gave Josh a small glass meteorite known as a tektite (from the Greek tektos, meaning molten). This primeval lump, blackened and pitted from its fiery journey through Earth’s atmosphere, seemed like the opposite of “perfect” crystal being made by major glass companies. But then Josh thought:  this object-made in the heavens before humans existed- was truly the perfect crystal. Months later a geologist friend did a spectrographic analysis of that meteorite, and Josh re-created that formula in his studio. The result: a coarse lava-like substance, impossible to blow, his own synthetic Tektite glass.

Physical Size: 6" x 8" x 4"

Price: $775
