Faceted Libyan Desert Glass Gemstone – 47 Carat Hand-Cut Tektite
This faceted Libyan Desert Glass gemstone is a captivating piece that blends natural beauty with cosmic origins. Skillfully faceted to highlight its brilliance, this gemstone showcases the pale yellow-green hue of Libyan Desert Glass, a rare tektite formed approximately 29 million years ago during a massive asteroid or comet impact.
Libyan Desert Glass is a geological marvel created when the intense heat of a cosmic collision—exceeding 1600° C (2900° F)—liquified the sands of the Libyan Desert, at the modern border of Egypt and Libya. Its unique properties, including embedded meteorite particles, make it a tangible connection to the power and mystery of the universe.
Perfect for collectors, gemstone enthusiasts, or as the centerpiece for a custom jewelry creation, this gemstone is a testament to the wonders of nature and the cosmos.
