Collection: Libyan Desert Glass
Libyan Desert Glass: Ancient Impact, Enduring Mystery
Formed approximately 29 million years ago, Libyan Desert Glass—also known as Great Sand Sea Glass—is a rare natural impactite found in the eastern Sahara, across parts of eastern Libya and western Egypt. Composed primarily of lechatelierite (a high-silica glass), it was likely created by the intense heat and pressure of a meteorite or comet impact.
Scattered across vast stretches of desert, fragments of this pale yellow to greenish natural glass are found in areas spanning tens of square kilometers. Its striking translucency and extraterrestrial origins make it a sought-after specimen for collectors, researchers, and history enthusiasts alike.
