Libyan Desert Glass | Golden Tektite Specimen

The Stone at a Glance Forged in the heat of a cosmic impact approximately 29 million years ago, Libyan Desert Glass is one of the rarest natural glasses on Earth. Found only in the Great Sand Sea of the Eastern Sahara, this "Gold Tektite" was so prized by ancient Egyptians that it was carved into the protective scarab for King Tutankhamun’s burial breastplate.

This specimen features the signature translucent honey-yellow hue with a natural, wind-sculpted texture. It is a perfect "crossover" piece—a high-vibration tool for energy work, a durable choice for unique wire wrapping, and an essential specimen for any serious mineral collection.

Artisan Specs & Utility Dimensions: [Insert Size, e.g., 28mm x 18mm] Shape: Natural Impactite Fragment Best For: High-vibration wire wrapping, protective amulets, and rare mineral displays. Visual Profile: Translucent golden-yellow with occasional cosmic dust or tiny bubble inclusions.

Mineralogical Profile Composition: Nearly pure Silica (98% SiO2), technically known as Lechatelierite. Formation: Created by the immense thermal energy of a meteorite impact or airburst that melted desert sand into glass. Durability: 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale; holds up well in jewelry but should be protected from sharp impacts. Rarity: Found only in a specific "scatterfield" along the Egypt-Libya border; a finite resource with increasing value.

Metaphysical & Lore Chakra: Solar Plexus (Seat of Will) & Third Eye Zodiac: Leo, Aries, & Cancer Properties: Known as a powerful "shock" stone, it is used to clear stagnant energy and break through spiritual blockages. It carries a "Golden Ray" vibration that supports manifestation, personal power, and creative confidence. Unlike the intense "shake-up" of Moldavite, Libyan Glass is considered an uplifting, sun-charged companion for those seeking spiritual growth.

Care & Longevity Clean: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners. Avoid: Extreme temperature shocks and ultrasonic cleaners, which can stress the glass. Storage: Store separately from harder stones like Quartz to prevent surface scuffs.

Why Choose This Piece? Whether you are a jewelry designer seeking an "extraterrestrial" centerpiece or a collector wanting a piece of cosmic history, this Libyan Desert Glass offers a direct link to a cataclysmic moment in time. Its bright, solar energy makes it a standout focal point for any custom design.
