Libyan Desert Glass 4.25g Translucent Impactite - Not a Meteorite

Description: Item for auction is a 4.25g naturally sculpted piece of Libyan Desert Glass, found in the hot sands of said region. This is a very nice specimen with an aesthetically pleasing shape with good clarity and color. The origin of the glass is a controversial issue for the scientific community, with many evolving theories. Meteoric origins for the glass were long suspected, but recent research linked the glass to impact mechanics, such as vaporized quartz and meteoric metals, and to an impact crater. They have been dated as having formed about 26 million years ago, and was knapped and used as a tool during the Pleistocene Era. This particular specimen has good clarity, consistent color, and a very nice shape. Add this Libyan Desert Glass to your collection. Scale cube in photo is 1cm on each side, and not included in sale.
