Hello, here is a very nice 100% Natural and complete piece of AAA Libyan Desert Glass or Great Sand Sea Glass Impactite that was found many years ago in Egypt! It is semi translucent with a rare darker SMOKY and light yellow color with deep regmaglypt like shapes!
Here's More Information long but interesting...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 recen...t research linked the glass to impact features, such as zircon-breakdown, vaporized 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 piece measures around 4.55cm or 1 13/16" at its biggest or from opposing corner to corner! Please note that material of this quality is getting very scarce.
