Libyan Desert Glass Bracelet – 419 Carat Tektite Beads from an Asteroid Impact
Experience the cosmic beauty of this Libyan Desert Glass bracelet, crafted with 16 beads weighing a total of 419 carats (83.8 grams). Each bead showcases the natural brilliance of Libyan Desert Glass, a rare tektite formed approximately 29 million years ago by a massive asteroid or comet impact in the Libyan Desert at the border of modern Egypt and Libya.
This bracelet features a combination of cube beads (ranging from 16 mm to 18 mm) and round beads (10 mm), carefully strung to highlight the unique textures and colors of this celestial glass. Libyan Desert Glass is renowned for its pale greenish-yellow hue and its formation under extreme heat exceeding 1600° C (2900° F), making it a geological and cosmic marvel.
Scientists have detected meteorite particles within this glass, further confirming its extraterrestrial origins. For centuries, Libyan Desert Glass has been revered not only for its natural beauty but also for its association with ancient artifacts like the Winged Scarab Pendant of Tutankhamun, carved from this rare material.
