Looks like I dropped my first post about using green tektites for telescope optics into the wrong meteor-x (x=s or ites) forum. Ooops. Now I know how the dinosaur killer must have felt! Yucatan indeed!

OK let me try again- are there any species of green impact glasses out there that when melted and then annealed won't convert to something like a gummy worm? Or could different impact glasses be mixed to give the desired qualities for a reflector mirror (and be a) readily available and b) inexpensive enough to make the project doable without being the founder of Microsoft)?
