Libyan Desert Glass

LIBYAN DESERT GLASS

/LIBYAN GOLD TEKTITE

Eastern Libya & Western Egypt

Libyan desert glass is an impactite from an ancient meteorite entering the atmosphere. Many scientists believe this occurrence may have been caused by a 100 ton aerial burst, a meteorite exploding in the atmosphere with the force of a nuclear bomb. It is unique among tektites for its color, a pale yellow to gold colored & was highly prized by the Ancient Egyptians, though it was “officially” discovered in 1932. King Tut was famously entombed with a breastplate that featured a Libyan desert glass scarab as the centerpiece. Much of Libyan Desert Glass is from Egypt, but transported across the desert to be sold out of Libya, due to Egypts laws against exporting any and all artifacts from the country. Some consider this to be the feminine counterpart to Moldavite.
