It's only found in the Eastern Sahara Desert between the Towering Dunes of the Egyptian Great Sand Sea of Egypt. Libyan Desert Tektites are generally yellow in color but can also be very clear or milky, and there may be bubbles present as well as areas that are lighter or darker than the rest of the material. Some fragments of this meteor glass have dark bands and or swirls of brownish material. These dark areas are thought to be the melted Cosmic body preserved in the meteor glass. Most notably, it was used in ancient times as a gemstone for the Pharaohs and remains a highly prized impact glass for collectors today. It is now known publicly that the Egyptian government has stopped the hunting and export of Libyan Desert glass, so we can expect to see the supply that may be available now, mainly on the online Market start to dry up as it is currently one of the most popular Tektites and the second most popular, just after Moldavite which is the most popular & well-known Tektite.

These are nice. I wrapped mine in copper wire and made a necklace out of it. Little smaller than I expected but it turned out okay. I bought 3 and the one in the picture was the larger of the 3.
