Here are three tektites that were originally Darryl Futrell's. He was proud of these as he was with many spectacular finds he had. He was an outstanding collector of many varieties.

Picture 1 is a very large Thai disk at 456 grams.

Picture 2 is his "large" Irghizite at 5.1 g.

Picture 3 is a Phillipinite (Samar region), 416 grams, that has something resembling a face. The latter may not be in a largest of type category but it is very large and anthropomorphic. Not only on Halloween does it frighten me!
