About Libyan Desert Glass

10/27/2022

by David Kalat

Libyan glass (LDG) is a rare mostly yellow-colored tektite / impactite,called also impact glass. It is found in only one place in the world in the desert near the borders of Libya and Egypt. For this reason, it is also called Libyan desert glass. The origin is not yet completely known. but it is assumed that it was created when an asteroid or comet hit the earth's surface approximately in the Tertiary period about 28 million years ago. However, the place of impact has not yet been found and the theory of its origin is therefore uncertain. It is the purest glass on earth, it contains about 98 % of silicate and shock minerals formed during impact. The melting point of LDG is higher than that of ordinary glass, i.e. 1700 degrees Celsius.
