Dumbbell shaped tektite for reference
However, Some Tektites can contain microscopic Ni-Fe spheroids (Nickel-Iron), so this is a possibility. https://gsw.silverchair-cdn.com/gsw/Content_public/Journal/ammin/52/5-6/am-1967-721/1/am-1967-721.pdf.gif?Expires=1552686410&Signature=LiGKFAjHty9wI~e9kZoO7Tu2UsCM8ZA8GY6w~sU0sCat9~gLMIvwZN3vtY5GBZsIK8-aQEhr9SmdTDw15LPu-PV79fgY3XJBW-W7ynun6ONRIiu46sw7EA3h3MWKyp-L5eEAbnrPKj3DT~lIWRPPGoAY~6Nwvd8fGGteKhT3Ry1leFShX06BJb0d3KDA9ZL3TYv6Vm3XLtk4mHeWdeOTdJ6VZqxYvN0GS4Kqaa2~iz585F6N-S5OgwVbJs0S864yP-2EzU5OYy~o-W1RszQYuWEzVPVcinZu9XVDprFu9nocfSLY5pxwjPjEJsNYX2-WZR2N0Y~FWfUTnUCaKQczsA__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIE5G5CRDK6RD3PGA
The above abstract indicated varying % of Ni-Fe spheroids in some tektites. Impactite glass bombs from the Meteor Crater, AZ area can contain from 20 to 65 weight percent nickel. . Not sure if that would even be enough to account for weak magnetism. Still reading... Evidently the metallic spherules are introduced either from the meteor itself or from the impact site, and can be contained within the tektite or as a "coating" of sorts.
So, onward. Still thinking.
