This authentic specimen features natural sand and debris inclusions with unique surface textures, key characteristics of genuine Libyan Desert Glass. It weighs 58.40 grams and measures approximately 2.25” long by 1.50” wide. Each piece is hand-selected from thousands and sourced directly from trusted suppliers to ensure premium quality and authenticity.
Your specimen includes a display stand and velvet carrying bag, perfect for display, gifting, or collectors.
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.
