👉 A microtektite is a mineral form of quartz that has been subjected to very small amounts of heat or pressure. This process can cause the quartz grains to break apart and become smaller in size, resulting in the formation of tiny crystals within the original larger grains. Microtektites are often found in the Earth's crust, where they are typically found along fractures and under areas of high pressure. They have a very small size compared to larger rocks, making them difficult to identify using traditional rock
