Libyan Desert Glass fossils - Fossilization Process: None (mineralSize: 2. 5 X 2cm Weight: 8 Gram Location: Libya Product Description Libyan Desert Glass is a rare natural silica glass found in the eastern Sahara Desert near the LibyaEgypt border. It formed approximately 29 million years ago during the late Eocene epoch. Scientific studies suggest it was created when an intense meteorite impact or atmospheric airburst generated temperatures above 1,700C, melting desert sand (nearly pure silica) into glass. The
