Libyan Desert Glass Jewelry : The Great Sand Sea Stone In the Sahara Desert of Libya, a naturally occurring glass is known as the Libyan Desert Glass Stone. Out of all gem-grade Tektites in the world, only two exist. Tektites are a type of stone created when meteorites hit the earth, causing the material to be ejected into the upper atmosphere and fall back down as impact glasses. Although its history dates back to Ancient Egypt, the first official discovery of Libyan Desert Glass was made by P. Clayton in 1932. Scientists believe it formed approximately 29 million years ago, requiring temperatures above 1600 C for its creation. Libyan Desert Glass is a transformative stone that resonates with the third eye chakra, sacral, and solar plexus chakras, offering powerful enhancing energies. As the birthstone of Libra, it represents the soul's aura and is the official birthstone of Libra.
