Libyan Desert Glass 🌝Western Desert, Egypt
Libyan Desert Glass (LDG) A highly sought-after natural glass formed approximately 29 million years ago in the Western Desert of Egypt.
LDG is the result of an ancient Meteorite impact or atmospheric airburst so powerful, it instantly melted the surrounding desert sand into pure, golden natural glass 😍
Not only is this material incredibly old, but it’s also:
Exceptionally rare, found only in a specific stretch of the Sahara
Protected and difficult to source, with ethical collecting becoming more limited
Historically significant, famously used in King Tutankhamun’s scarab jewellery ☀️
