Libyan Desert Glass
History

line

Name: Libyan Desert Glass
Location: Libya/Egypt Border

Found in the sand sea on the Libya/Egypt border. This natural occurring
glass of suspected meteoritic origin, is one of the strangest of all
the glasses found in the field. It is highly translucent, displaying a
light to medium gold to olive color. Although it is sometimes referred
to as a tektite, scientists are still uncertain about its origin.
 Some of this material was found in Tutankhamon Tomb carved into a
scarub. Many of the smaller pieces I have where used as scrapers.
