Libyan Desert Glass 30x26x19mmLibyan Desert Glass, also called Golden Tektite, is found only in the remote desert of western Egypt, near the Libyan border, between giant shifting sand dunes, and is similar to Moldavite. Studies show that Libyan desert glass formed about 29 million years ago. The glass is nearly pure silica, which requires temperatures above 1,600 to form, and that is hotter than any igneous rock on Earth. Interest in Libyan desert glass goes back more than 3,000
