Glowing with an otherworldly warmth, this piece of Libyan Desert Glass seems almost aglow from within. The vitreous surface shimmers with smooth, flowing contours and a faintly "bubbled" texture, reminiscent of something forged in unearthly fire. A soft golden hue deepens to smoky amber along the edges, where the glass takes on a toasted, almost caramelized tone. Weighing 61.04 grams, this remarkable impactite bears the timeless allure of a relic born from a cosmic collision. This hauntingly beautiful specimen of Libyan Desert Glass is an extraordinary addition for any collection.
