This rare hand-carved Egyptian scarab amulet is crafted from Libyan Desert Glass, a unique gemstone formed by a powerful asteroid impact approximately 29 million years ago. Found along the border of modern Egypt and Libya, Libyan Desert Glass is considered a tektite, created when the immense heat of a cosmic collision melted sand into glass. This mystical yellow-green glass was even discovered in King Tutankhamun's tomb, where a scarab on his breastplate was carved from this extraordinary material. Known for its cosmic origins, Libyan Desert Glass carries the ancient symbolism of the Egyptian scarab beetle—a symbol of good fortune, protection, rebirth, and transformation—making this amulet a captivating piece of history.
