I have sourced some high quality pieces of Libyan Desert Glass  - which is a gorgeous rare material formed from the immense forces of a meteorite impact.
Libyan Desert Glass was formed around 26 Million years ago - and while still shrouded in some mystery the appeal is huge.
it is found across areas of Libya and Egypt.

Libyan Desert Glass was used in the pectoral found in the tomb of Tutankhamen and was carved into the shape of a scarab set into the piece of jewellery.

Being very high quality it has a bright colour and translucence missing from many lower grade pieces that can be dull and milky.

The surface has a smooth texturing created by many thousands of years of being bombarded by the Desert Sands

I have wrapped two pieces of Desert Glass in sterling silver wire and turned it into a cross pendant.
I cant prove it, but i am pretty sure that these long pieces of Desert Glass have been worked on by a human ancestor and turned into tools

The pendant measures  4cm top to bottom and is strung from a super 20 inch sterling silver snake chain


This pendant comes boxed in a high quality jewellery box  and also an embossed gift box so is ready to give as a gift! - or why not just keep it for yourself !!
