Libyan Desert Glass formed around 29 million years ago from the extreme heat of a meteorite impact or airburst over the Sahara Desert, reaching temperatures over 2,900°F (1,600°C). Its composition makes it similar to Moldavite and other impact-formed glasses.
Historically prized since the Pleistocene era and famously used in King Tutankhamun’s jewelry, Libyan Desert Glass is also believed to support manifestation, willpower, clarity, and personal transformation.
