    Meteorite Impact Mojave Desert Glass "Impactite" 6g, fluorescent... gorgeous!
    Pure and fluorescent, this little gem belongs in the spotlight.
    Desert Glass (Impactite) was first recognized by modern science in the 1930s, but early humans fashioned it into tools during the Pleistocene entranced by the yellow glass—a delicate scarab mounted in one of Tutankhamun’s ornate pectorals was carved from Libyan Desert Glass.
    The formation event which created Lybian Desert Glass is quite clear having occurred some 29,000,000 years ago. A similar event is responsible for the creation of Desert Glass found in other parts of the world which also boasts unsurpassed beauty.
    Erosion by wind and sand has sculpted some pieces into startling shapes, and etched their surfaces with pseudo regmaglypts that bear an uncanny resemblance to the thumbprints found on meteorites. New research has shown that some specimens contain tiny dust-like particles of the original meteorite, frozen forever in natural glass.
    Harvesting Libyan Desert Glass is illegal one would be hard-pressed to ever own such a thing. Look no further as we have our own right here. Just as beautiful and clearly indistinguishable of LDG.
