Hello, here is a BIG semi translucent 100% Natural piece of Libyan Desert Glass that was found in Egypt! It has a great shape and color with tons of DEEP regmaglypt like shapes...what a super piece!!
Here's More Information...The origin of the glass is a controversial issue for the scientific community, with many evolving theories. Meteoritic origins for the glass were long suspected, and recent research linked the glass to impact features, such as zircon-breakdown, vapor...ized quartz and meteoritic metals, and to an impact crater. Some geologists associate the glass not with impact melt ejecta, but with melting from meteoric large aerial bursts! The Libyan desert glass has been dated as having formed about 26 million years ago! It was also knapped and used to make tools during the Pleistocene Era.
This specimen measures a crazy! 6.36cm or 2 1/2" at its biggest! Please note that it does have a small fresher chip on one side.
