1. Their intended destinations included Thielsen, which was climbed and sampled for its fulgurite variant. 2. Glass that forms when lightning hits sand, as in the film, is called fulgurite . 3. He ended up being accidentally struck with lightning by Electro, temporarily turning him into fulgurite . 4. The spire-like shape of Thielsen attracts lightning strikes and creates fulgurite , an unusual mineral. 5. :Oh, and yes & mdash; lightning can indeed fuse sand into glass; see fulgurite . 6. Unfortunately, as well as pottery, these can easily be caused by lightning strikes-see fulgurite . 7. The volcano was not analyzed until 1884, when a team from the United States Geological Survey sampled its fulgurite deposits. 8. A fulgurite was found within the contents of the ash altar at the temple ( hieron ) of Lykaian Zeus at Mt. 9. In this case, the extreme and immediate heat of the lightning ( ~ 2500 �C ) creates hollow, branching rootlike structures called fulgurite via fusion. 10. Fulgurites have been classified by Pasek et al . ( 2012 ) into five types related to the type of sediment in which the fulgurite formed, as follows:
