Libyan Desert glass Bracelet-28 beads-12mmx6mm-192 ct-Meteorite Tektite-asteroid
Libyan Desert Glass Bracelet – Meteorite Tektite from Asteroid Impact – 28 Beads, 192 Carats
This exceptional Libyan Desert Glass Bracelet is crafted from 28 hand-carved beads, each formed by an ancient asteroid impact approximately 29 million years ago. The intense energy of an asteroid or comet transformed the desert sand along the Libya-Egypt border into this rare, otherworldly glass, known as Great Sand Sea Glass. Each bead in this bracelet captures the essence of Earth’s encounter with the cosmos.
The origin of Libyan Desert Glass was once a mystery, with some theories even suggesting a lunar origin. However, scientists now confirm that this unique material is the result of cosmic collisions with Earth, with embedded meteorite particles adding to its celestial heritage. This bracelet not only serves as a stunning accessory but also as a unique connection to Earth’s ancient history.
