Libyan Desert Glass Cabochon – 15.5 Gram Hand-Carved Tektite
This hand-carved Libyan Desert Glass cabochon is a stunning fusion of natural artistry and cosmic history. Its polished surface highlights the pale yellow-green hue 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 when the extreme heat of a cosmic collision—exceeding 1600° C (2900° F)—melted desert sands in the Libyan Desert, near the modern border of Egypt and Libya. Embedded with meteorite particles, this cabochon offers a tangible connection to the universe's powerful forces.
Perfect for collectors, gemstone enthusiasts, or as a centerpiece for custom jewelry, this cabochon is a unique treasure that embodies both ancient history and celestial wonder.
