This clear natural tektite is famously known as Libyan Desert Glass and is found only in the Sahara Desert in Egypt. Tektites are a form of natural glass created when a large meteor collides with the earth under the right conditions. The impact melts sand and rock on the ground and hurls it into the air. The molten minerals cool in the air and form the natural glass known as tektites, which rain back down upon the ground.
