BEAUTIFUL LARGE PIECE OF LIBYAN GLASS DISCOVERY IN LIBYA
The Libyan Glass is from the impactite family, it is a tectite resulting from the impact of a METEORITE in the desert of Libya. The sand silica melts under the impact of the terrible shock and turns into glass. Pieces of glass are ejected into the atmosphere and are deposited by gravity, carved by the turbulence of the air during their fall.
Superb complete piece. It is RARE to find a piece of this size in this gorgeous green colour.
Often large parts are a milky colour without transparency.
We can see that the part protruding from the sand was sculpted by the wind of the desert and polished.
The sandy part kept its traces of fusion created by the turbulence of the air when this glass created by the impact of the meteorite fell in the sand on earth after having been ejected in the atmosphere
It measures 145 mm in length, 95 mm in thickness and 90 mm in width.
