Crafted from the extraordinary Libyan Desert Glass, this hand-carved scarab embodies the ancient mystique of Egyptian artistry and cosmic origins. Libyan Desert Glass, also known as Great Sand Sea Glass, was formed approximately 29 million years ago due to the intense heat of an asteroid or comet impact at the border of present-day Libya and Egypt. The temperatures exceeded 1600°C (2900°F), creating this rare, pale greenish-yellow glass infused with particles of meteorites. Revered for its celestial beauty and rarity, this material is a natural marvel that connects Earth to the cosmos.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, the scarab symbolizes rebirth, transformation, and protection. This exquisite piece echoes the grandeur of artifacts like the Winged Scarab Pendant of Tutankhamun, which featured a scarab carved from this same remarkable material. As a cherished symbol of the god Ra, this scarab carries a legacy of celestial significance and timeless artistry.
A perfect blend of history, mythology, and cosmic wonder, this Libyan Desert Glass scarab is a unique treasure for collectors and enthusiasts of ancient Egyptian symbolism.
