Libyan Glass Sunburst Tektite Jewelry Sterling 6 Carat

This Libyan desert glass jewelry necklace is shaped in the style of a sunburst. The focal stone is one-half inch and contains a professionally cut and polished Libyan glass gemstone, set in 925 sterling silver.

Libyan glass is one of the rarest natural glasses in the world. It's beautiful natural yellow color was created by the searing heat of a meteorite impact in the Libyan desert region. The sky literally rained yellow tektite droplets for about 20 minutes before the "glass storm" actually stopped, 29 million years ago.

We have fashioned one of these beautiful, froth-like yellow gemstone droplets into this fine cosmic jewelry. Sought after by Bedouins and explorers since ancient times, this tektite glass is now considered to be a collectible among meteorite enthusiasts and those interested in impact glass.

Pendant size: 1 1/2" diameter. Weight: 6.2 carat. The Libyan Desert Glass cabochon is 12mm, about 1/2" W. Your choice of length of black cord chain with lobster claw clasps: 18, 20, 22 inches included.
