WTS: Prayer Beads from Meteorite Bilitonite, Black Satam, Black Meteorite

History of Meteorite Bilitonite, Black Satam, Black Meteorite.



‘Billitonite’ is a western name for tektites from Belitung Island in Indonesia (pronounced Bill-it-ung). The island was formerly known as Billiton Island and was part of the Dutch East Indies. In fact this is where the mining giant BHP Billiton derives part of its name. In 1860, the company, then just Billiton, acquired a concession to the tin-rich Billiton (now Belitung) island. This tin mining still goes on today and this is why tektites are found on this island. The tektites are locally referred to as Satam Stone, or sometimes Batu Satam. The word Satam comes from the language of the descendents of Chinese people who came to Belitung for work in the tin mines. SA means sand and TAM means gall: so Satam means bile sand . People claim they are magical and mysterious. Magical/lucky stones are often associated with rarity.

Around 780,000 years ago a huge asteroid hit the earth in the South China Sea (likely in the Gulf of Tonkin). This asteroid is moving from northwest to southeast and hit the Earth with a small angle collisions.

In the early stages of the collision, the kinetic energy of an asteroid hitting the Earth is melting and deliver momentum to the upper layers of rock in the earth’s surface (such as sand and mud) in the collision.

the melt layer, composed of rock melts, leaving the earth’s atmosphere and broke up into semi-molten rock form of small dots (globules) are called “tektite”. These globules to form a ball, dumbbells, or tears, depending on the speed of rotation that occurs during the formation of tektites stone or stones that Satam.



Satam shaped stone balls, dumbbells and tears cools quickly, so fast that they form a glass (the same as glass, but not pure, as in the modern wine bottle or beer).



Approximately five to six minutes after the asteroid collision occurs, the ball is now frozen and become solid start re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere and crashed in the Pacific Islands.



Because of Stone’s Satam reentering Earth’s atmosphere at high speed, the friction force experienced heat up the front of this stone.



When the glass is heated with unequal (large temperature difference between the front and rear), it will break. Like pouring boiling water into a drinking glass.



The front of the stone Satam will form small pieces. This fraction is also enhanced by the intense pressure because of the slowing pace.



Speed ??cosmic momentum carried by the Stone Satam will eventually be reduced and rupture of rocks will also be reduced.



Because this Satam stone will fall to earth by gravity with a more vertical movement.



On Earth Stone Satam carried by river water and may be eroded.



In the end Stone Satam be incorporated with sediment deposits that usually also contain lead (eroded from geothermal deposits associated with granite intrusions).



In the high berporositas pile of sand, fresh water will very slowly carve the stone Satam. Paper-thin cracks (formed by the glass was heated at re-entering Earth’s atmosphere) will be enlarged and form a small U-shaped trench Note that this U-shaped trench is formed only in the heated section, the front of the Stone Satam (Tektite). The back of the stone is fixed Satam as the original, ball-shaped.
