Given that these alleged "tektites" look like 
water-rolled pieces of basaltic scoria and the 
Columbia Plateau is composed of basaltic volcanic 
rocks, I would be extremely skeptical of these 
so-called "tektites". I would certainly request a 
written money back guarantee of their authenticity 
and documented authentication in writing of their 
identity before even considering their purchase.
