Libyan Desert Glass
Libyan Desert Glass is the remaining evidence of a tremendous asteroid or comet impact with the Earth. Some scientists think an air burst explosion caused the release of sufficient heat to melt and fuse the surface desert sand forming the Libyan Desert Glass.
Libyan Desert Glass is found in the eastern Sahara Desert between the towering dunes of the Eastern Great Sand Sea of Egypt. Between these dunes are long narrow gaps where the bedrock is exposed. It is in these areas of exposed surface that this natural glass is found.

Libyan Desert Glass is generally yellow in color but can also be very clear or even be milky or bubbly light yellow. Some fragments of this meteor glass have dark bands and swirls of brownish material. These dark areas are thought to be the melted cosmic body preserved in the meteor glass. Libyan Desert Glass was used in ancient times as a gem stone for the Pharaohs and remains a highly prized impact glass for collectors today.
