This is a very nice, and highly translucent and high quality specimen of Libyan Desert Glass. If you don't know what that is, well then get ready to be amazed! Libyan Desert Glass is a type of impactite that was formed from an ancient meteorite impact in the middle of the Sahara Desert where Egypt and Libya exist today. The sand was immediately fused into this beautiful yellow glass by the heat of the explosion! It is highly collectible and more and more rare all the time. It is getting more difficult to find all the time. I hope it finds a good home out there. Don't let this one pass you by. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me.

IMCA Member #7446 Below is some information about Libyan Desert Glass and Impactites: Libyan desert glassFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to navigationJump to search Libyan desert glassLibyan Desert glass (LDG), or Great Sand Sea glass is an impactite found in areas in the eastern Sahara, in the deserts of eastern Libya and western Egypt. Fragments of desert glass can be found over areas of tens of square kilometers. Contents1Geologic origin2See also3References4Literature5External linksGeologic origin Distribution of Silica-glass in the Libyan Desert. 1934 map.The origin of desert glass is uncertain. Meteoritic origins have long been considered possible, and recent research links the glass to impact features, such as zircon-breakdown, vaporized quartz and meteoritic metals, and to an impact crater.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Some geologists[8] associate the glass with radiative melting from meteoric large aerial bursts, making it analogous to trinitite created from sand exposed to the thermal radiation of a nuclear explosion. Libyan Desert glass has been dated as having formed about 26 million years ago. Like obsidian, it was knapped[citation needed] and used to make tools during the Pleistocene.[9] ImpactiteFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to navigationJump to search An example of impactite on EarthImpactite (or impact glass) is rock created or modified by the impact of a meteorite.[1] Contents1Characteristics2Known examples of impactite3See also4References5External linksCharacteristicsImpactite includes shock-metamorphosed target rocks, melts (suevites) and mixtures of the two, as well as sedimentary rocks with significant impact-derived components (shocked mineral grains, tektites, anomalous geochemical signatures, etc.). In June 2015, NASA reported that impact glass has been detected on the planet Mars. Such material may contain preserved signs of ancient life—if life existed.[2] When a meteor strikes a planet's surface, the energy release from the impact can melt rock and soil into a liquid. If the liquid cools and hardens quickly into a solid, impact glass forms before the atoms have time to arrange into a crystal lattice. Impact glass is dark brown, almost black, and partly transparent.[3]
