Libyan Desert Glass, Egyptian Scarab, Scarab Beetle, asteroids Impact, 395 Carat

Hand-Carved Libyan Desert Glass Scarab – Unique Egyptian Amulet from a Cosmic Impact

This hand-carved Libyan Desert Glass scarab is a rare and remarkable artifact, combining ancient Egyptian symbolism with cosmic origins. Weighing 395 carats, this scarab is meticulously crafted from Libyan Desert Glass, a unique tektite formed approximately 29 million years ago during an asteroid impact in the Libyan Desert at the border of modern Egypt and Libya.

Libyan Desert Glass, also known as Great Sand Sea Glass, is renowned for its pale greenish-yellow hue and celestial origins. Its formation required temperatures exceeding 1600° C (2900° F), generated by the extreme heat of a cosmic collision. The embedded meteorite particles in this glass further attest to its extraterrestrial nature, making it a prized material for historical artifacts and symbolic jewelry.

This scarab takes inspiration from the legendary Winged Scarab Pendant of Tutankhamun, carved from Libyan Desert Glass and discovered in the tomb of the boy king. Representing rebirth, protection, and transformation, the scarab beetle holds a sacred place in Egyptian mythology, making this piece a meaningful addition to any collection.
