Fulgurite, Algeria
lightning fused sand
A typical lightning bolt is about 300 million Volts and about 30,000 Amps. So melting sand and dirt are no problem for lightning. Fulgurites are the natural tubes or crusts of glass formed by the fusion of silica (quartz) sand or rock from a lightning strike. Their shape mimics the path of the lightning bolt as it disperses into the ground. All lightning strikes that hit the ground are capable of forming fulgurites.
