Product Description
 
This 2.35 carat Libyan Desert Glass gemstone features a precision Five Star Cut, producing a striking geometric pattern with bright reflections and crisp symmetry.
 
Libyan Desert Glass is a rare natural impact glass formed approximately 29 million years ago when an intense meteor airburst melted desert sand across the Great Sand Sea of the eastern Sahara. This extraordinary material is composed of nearly pure silica and has fascinated collectors for centuries, even appearing in ancient Egyptian jewelry, including a scarab found in King Tutankhamun’s burial treasures.
 
This faceted example displays the natural character expected of authentic Libyan Desert Glass, including natural bubbles and internal inclusions formed during the extreme heat of the impact event.
Expertly cut to showcase both its cosmic origin and optical beauty, this gemstone represents a unique fusion of natural history and precision craftsmanship.
