Hello Michael,
That term applies to the "flow-lines" in all tektite material in general:

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6VDB-3VW7S1X-5&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=78afbbfe49682a49c9b8accc306504dc

And not necessarily to the meteoric material contained in LDG;
schlieren generally applies to the visible differences in density
apparent in layers and ripples in impact glasses, as well as other
substances.  In fact, in tektites, this usually applies to areas
richer in SiO2 - not meteoric material.
Regards,
Jason
