Own a Unique Space Artifact! ☄️

Libyan Desert Glass is a rare and beautiful natural glass found in the Sahara Desert along the border of Egypt and Libya. It formed around 28 million years ago when an intense event, most likely a meteor impact or atmospheric explosion, generated enough heat to melt the desert sand, fusing it into a translucent golden-yellow glass. Pieces can range from clear to milky, often glowing in sunlight with a unique shimmer. Due to its mysterious origin and striking appearance, Libyan Desert Glass has fascinated scientists and collectors alike, with its use dating back to ancient times for jewelry and ceremonial objects, including a carved scarab found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
