Description: 

Libyan Desert Glass was formed when a meteorite impacted this corner of the Sahara a long time ago. The shock and the heat from the impact turned the sand into lumps of glass. The meteorite has never been found, and might still be hiding under the sand, but the dark streaks found in some pieces of glass might be dust from the meteorite.

Greenish yellow, frosted on one side and the base, and a twisted personality. Yes, it looks twisted! hard to show on pictures, but it displays very nicely.

About 50mm wide, and 55mm tall.   

Please note: The area of south-west Egypt where Libyan Glass can be found, has now been closed to any exploration by the Egyptian government for the last 4 years, with no change of policy in sight, so our stock cannot be replenish, and is dwindling!.
