Description
29 million years ago, a meteor hit the desert in North Africa to melt the sand to about 3000 degrees Fahrenheit and create a uniquely pure silica glass known as Libyan Desert Glass. Used to make the scarab centerpiece for King Tutaknhamen's burial breastplate, this rare glass is still valued for its golden color.
