The History of Libyan Desert Glass

Libyan Desert Glass has captivated humanity for millennia. Ancient Egyptians were among the first to use it for adornments, even incorporating it into the iconic scarab centerpiece on the breastplate of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. This rare glass remains a symbol of unique beauty and mystery.

Scientific Origins of Libyan Desert Glass

Upon scientific examination, Libyan Desert Glass was found to contain nano-diamonds, iridium, and traces of chondrite meteorite; clear signs of a meteoritic origin. A bolide or comet impact heated the sand to intense temperatures, melting and fusing it into golden droplets that scattered across the desert floor as they cooled.
