Georgiaite

Georgiaite is a form or type of tektite. They are found in part of the 34-million-year-old North American strewnfield coming from the Chesapeake Bay impact crater. Two strewnfields and tektite groups are associated with this impact: the black Bediasite in Texas and the green Georgiaite in Georgia.

Georgiaite is found in the eastern part of central Georgia, with approximately 1,000 specimens known to date. They are splash-form tektites.[1]
