Libyan Desert Glass Cabochon – 12 Gram Hand-Carved Tektite
This hand-carved Libyan Desert Glass cabochon is a stunning example of cosmic history and natural beauty. With its smooth, polished surface, it highlights the pale yellow-green hues of Libyan Desert Glass, a rare material formed approximately 29 million years ago during a colossal asteroid or comet impact.
Libyan Desert Glass is a geological wonder created by the extreme heat of a cosmic collision—exceeding 1600° C (2900° F)—that 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 immense forces that shaped our universe.
Perfect for collectors, gemstone enthusiasts, or as a unique addition to custom jewelry, this cabochon embodies the union of ancient history and celestial wonder.
