Libyan Desert Glass Cabochon – 11.3 Gram Hand-Carved Tektite
This hand-carved Libyan Desert Glass cabochon is a captivating piece that embodies the cosmic origins and natural beauty of its material. Featuring a polished surface that showcases the pale yellow-green hue of Libyan Desert Glass, this cabochon is a rare treasure formed approximately 29 million years ago during a massive asteroid or comet impact.
Libyan Desert Glass is a geological marvel created when the extreme heat of a cosmic collision—exceeding 1600° C (2900° F)—melted the sands of the Libyan Desert at the modern border of Egypt and Libya. Embedded with meteorite particles, this cabochon offers a tangible connection to the universe's immense forces and ancient history.
