Stunning Libyan Desert Glass Necklace - Wire Wrapped With Sterling Silver Wire 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 has 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 Tutankhamun and was carved into the shape of a scarab set into the piece of jewelry. The pendant you will receive will not be this exact one, but made to order for you and will measure roughly 3cm top to bottom including both Desert Glass and silver setting, and is strung from a superb 20 Inch sterling silver snake chain.
