Libyan Desert Glass

Libyan Desert Glass, also known as "Impact Glass," is a translucent yellowish to greenish glass found in the Libyan Desert, particularly in an area known as the Great Sand Sea. Formed by the intense heat and pressure during meteorite impacts, this natural glass is believed to have formed around 26 million years ago. It is prized for its unique color, smooth surface, and is often used in jewelry and ornamental objects. Historically, it has been associated with ancient Egyptian artifacts, and it is thought to have been used in the creation of amulets and other decorative items.
