Unlike other tektites, which are believed to be formed when a meteorite impacts the earth vaporizing itself and surrounding materials, then ejecting those vapors into the upper atmosphere where they solidify and rain down as a solid, Libyan Desert Glass is thought to have formed when a meteorite exploded above the Earth's surface with such intense energy it glazed the desert sand. Valued by the ancient Egyptians for ritual jewelry to bring the Sun God to earth, Libyan Desert Glass formed part of the protective heart scarab that guided King Tutankhamun on his afterlife journey to the stars.

Spiritually, this stone carries powerful sun energy and abundant lifeforce, acting as a protective amulet for any jouney, physical or metaphysical, going beyond the boundries of what is known and across frontiers of consciousness. Libyan Desert Glass is a useful connector between higher cosmic forces and the planet, grounding and transmuting this energy into land and body, and opening spiritual vision.
