My Mums Dad was the Commonwealth Cop at Maralinga (Atomic Bomb Test Site) for over 20 years and part of his job was to visit the many groups of natives throughout the 'bush'. In his travels he would fossick for tektites. He was awarded the British Empire Medal (B.E.M.)  for his work. I was lucky enough to be invited to Maralinga for Remembrance Day on 11/11/11 and met many of the original servicemen who were stationed there and visited all the bomb sites.

This is the piece I have left. The piece I took to school was about 1/3 of this size, but the entire top was glazed smooth large bubbled black. (similar to the smaller bubble shown here, but much more impressive and the bubbles were on a much larger scale, each lump being about the size of a 20c piece). This piece weighs approx 3.4kg.

Hope the photos do it justice.
