6g Libyan Desert Glass - Ancient Cosmic Impact Specimen from Egypt's Western Desert

Stardust in Your Hands: The Magic of Libyan Desert Glass

Hold a piece of cosmic history with this stunning 9g Libyan Desert Glass! Formed around 26 million years ago in the Sahara Desert, this natural golden glass is believed to be the result of a meteor strike or airburst explosion that melted the desert sand. The result? A captivating tektite made mostly of lechatelierite — a high-temperature molten silica glass similar to quartz, but completely amorphous.

Size: 23mm x 21mm x 16mm (Approx.)

Weight: 4.4 grams

Glowing in warm, golden hues, this ancient glass once dazzled the eyes of the Pharaohs — even found in King Tutankhamun’s jewelry! Today, it’s cherished for its rarity and believed metaphysical powers, symbolizing transformation, strength, and cosmic connection. A perfect treasure for collectors, history lovers, and starry-eyed dreamers alike.
