Libyan Desert Glass: Cosmic Connection from Ancient Sands

Experience the mystery of the cosmos with this remarkable piece of Libyan Desert Glass. Libyan Desert Glass is a natural glass formed around 26 million years ago in the Sahara Desert, believed to be the result of a meteor impact or an airburst explosion. This extraordinary event melted the sand beneath, creating stunning, golden-hued glass pieces scattered across the desert sands.  The glass's primary component is lechatelierite, a molten silica glass that's similar to quartz but doesn't have a crystal structure.
