Fulgurite
Fulgurites, commonly known as "fossilized lightning", are natural tubes, clumps, or masses of sintered, vitrified, and/or fused soil, sand, rock, organic debris and other sediments that sometimes form when lightning discharges into ground. When composed of silica, fulgurites are classified as a variety of the mineraloid lechatelierite. Wikipedia
This is a faint echo of the forces that forged the mesas of the American Southwest.
