Chemically, it belongs to the group of tektites and impactites and consists of almost 98% silicon dioxide – making it one of the purest natural silicate rocks on Earth. Its Mohs hardness is about 6. Its origin story is unique: it comes exclusively from an area of about 6,500 km² in the border region between Egypt and Libya. Even in ancient times, people recognized its special nature – a piece of this material was incorporated into the scarab of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I care for Libyan Desert Glass correctly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eLibyan Desert Glass, with a Mohs hardness of about 6, is relatively robust, but should still be handled carefully as it can break brittlely. A quick rinse with clear water is harmless, but a prolonged water bath is not recommended. Moonlight is excellent for energetic charging – simply place it on the windowsill overnight. Placing it on a selenite plate or smudging with white sage or Palo Santo also works wonderfully. Direct, intense sunlight for extended periods should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I recognize genuine Libyan Desert Glass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eGenuine Libyan Desert Glass exhibits a characteristic light yellow to creamy honey-colored hue with natural inclusions, streaks, and bubbles inside – these result from the original melting process and are a good authenticity feature. The surface of rough stones is often matte-velvety due to natural wind polishing. Be cautious with pieces that are conspicuously uniformly colored or too perfectly transparent – these could be synthetic. Our Libyan Desert Glass comes directly from the White Desert in Egypt, on the border with Libya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhat distinguishes Libyan Desert Glass from other tektites like Moldavite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eMoldavite is deep green and formed by the Nördlinger Ries impact in Germany about 15 million years ago – its material was widely dispersed by the explosion. Libyan Desert Glass, on the other hand, is yellowish-cream, formed about 28–29 million years ago and comes exclusively from a very small area of the Sahara. Energetically, Moldavite is often described as more intense and transformative, while Libyan Desert Glass is considered clearer, more focused, and calmer in the energy field. Both are rare and sought after, but good quality Libyan Desert Glass is significantly harder to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.happy-minerals.com\/search?q=tektit\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\" title=\"Buy Libyan Desert Glass and Tektites at Happy Minerals\"\u003eDiscover all Tektites at Happy Minerals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive exactly this rough Libyan Desert Glass stone from the photo.
