When Lightning Hits The Sand: The Story of Fulgurite | Our State
Phil Greene's eagle-shaped fulgurite. Nags Head resident Phil Greene is collector of fulgurites, more commonly known as lightning rocks. Greene regularly drives north to beaches near the Currituck Lighthouse and paces the coastline, head down, searching for this unique evidence of a lightning strike on the water’s edge. The “rocks” are technically a form of glass, and they come in all sorts of distinctive shapes that fascinate Greene. Photograph by Travis Dove
