Description

Product Identification

This listing is for a rare Billitonite tektite, also known as Batu Satam, associated with Belitung Island in Indonesia. The supplied product classification is Meteorite, while the specific identification supplied for this piece is Billitonite Tektite. Billitonite and Batu Satam are important search terms for collectors interested in Indonesian tektites, natural impact glass, meteorite-related materials and geological specimens from Southeast Asia.

Classification and Scientific Context

Tektites are natural glasses formed during large hypervelocity impact events. When an impact occurs, terrestrial material can be melted and ejected, eventually cooling into glassy fragments. This makes tektites distinct from ordinary manufactured glass and also scientifically different from metallic meteorites or stony meteorites, even though they are frequently offered through meteorite and space-material collecting categories. Billitonite is the name used for tektite material connected with Belitung Island, and Batu Satam is the associated regional name commonly encountered in collecting and trade.

As a natural impact-glass material, a Billitonite tektite represents the meeting point of geology, planetary science and natural history. It is suitable for collectors building a tektite display, educators presenting examples of impact-related materials, or anyone looking for an unusual Indonesian geological specimen. The supplied identification and locality wording are retained here so that the piece can be catalogued accurately as Billitonite Tektite, Batu Satam, Belitung Island, Indonesia.

Locality and Collecting Interest
