Libyan Desert Glass is a rare natural glass, believed to have formed approximately 26 million years ago as a result of a meteorite impact in the Libyan Desert.

It is famous for its historical association with ancient Egypt, including its use in decorative artifacts belonging to Pharaoh Tutankhamun.

Classified as a type of natural impact glass, Libyan Desert Glass is also popular among gemstone enthusiasts for its distinctive appearance and spiritual significance. Each piece may feature unique characteristics, such as cristobalite inclusions and small cavities formed by escaping gas bubbles, making every specimen one of a kind.
