This Libyan Desert Glass was hand carved by me into a heart shaped cabochon! Found on a strewnfield in the Western Egyptian desert, this mainly Lechatelierite mineral has been used in Egyptian antiquities as a gemstone. This impact glass has been disputed amongst scientists to as whether or not it came from an impact at all - mainly because no impact site has been located - yet! It has been dated to be formed around 29 million years ago. Did you know, Tutankhamun's broach has a carved Libyan Desert Glass scarab in it?
