Libyan glass pendant pierced on leather cord

Huge meteorite impact in the desert

Libyan desert glass or 'gold tektite' is a tektite found in the desert on the border of Egypt and Libya. The tektite was formed about 28 million years ago by a very large meteorite impact. This released so much energy and heat that the desert sand was melted into glass.

Gold tektite with a history

Libyan glass is striking because of its yellow color, but can also have brown tones due to the different sand layers. It is the only tektite on earth with this striking yellow color and is therefore also called 'gold tektite'. This tektite was already known in the time of the Pharaohs and was seen as a valuable gemstone. Even in the Neolithic era (11,000 to 3,000 BC), Libyan glass was already used to make tools.

spiritual

Especially for spiritual healers, this tektite works as a protector against the negative energy coming from a client and against negative energy coming in from the earth or the cosmos. Libyan glass works like a filter and ensures that only the positive energy comes in. Chakra: Solar Plexus, Sacrum and Crown. Zodiac Sign: All
