This Libyan Desert Glass specimen is a natural impactite formed in the Sahara around 29 million years ago during an extreme high-temperature event that created natural silica glass. Each piece in this listing is an individual specimen, shaped by desert erosion and selected for its surface detail, colour, and visual character.

The specimens shown vary naturally in form, translucency, and tone, ranging from pale yellow to soft honey and amber hues. Some pieces show smoother satin surfaces, while others retain more pronounced flow textures and desert sculpting. Each specimen is sold separately, allowing you to choose the exact piece that best suits your collection or display.
