Collection: Libyan Gold Tektite 利比亚黄金陨石

Libyan glass also known as Golden Tektite, Desert Glass Tektite, or Egyptian Tektite was formed about 26 million years ago by an impact of an asteroid or a comet. After the glass was formed, it ended up in the desert where the tektite was frequently sandblasted, making the surface of Libyan glass smooth and rounded. It was not officially discovered until 1932, but there is evidence that older cultures already knew about the glass and used it as tools and ornaments.

Libyan glass was created by a meteorite impact. Due to the force and heat released by such a large impact, Earth's sand and rock is melted into glass and flung away. After this it rained glass drops over a large area. This area is called the strewn field. Melting sand with a purity equivalent to Libyan glass requires temperatures above 1600 degrees celsius.

It was considered an amulet and protector against negative energy in ancient Egypt. The sacred scarab that guarded and protected the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun was made from Libyan Desert Glass, making it one of the rarest crystals. It is known to attract wealth, correspond to all seven chakras, enhance overall energy, and provide protection against external negative influences.
