Libyan Desert Glass Libyan Desert Glass Area Great Sand...
Libyan Desert Glass Libyan Desert Glass Area Great Sand Sea Western Desert, Egypt This specimen of a Libyan Desert Glass impactite is extremely glassy consistent with its name and variety not to mention is covered with small craters that add an entirely extra dimension to the visual appeal of the offering. The rich yellowish-green color which leans more towards the latter is quite compelling, and the solid mass of nicely balanced form weighs a noteworthy 636 grams. A rather vitreous luster over the piece where minor sediment is lacking adds to the charm of the amazing example of a most unique type. Overall Measurements: 4.49 x 3.81 x 2.81 inches (11.41 x 9.68 x 7.13 cm), weighs 636 grams [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
