Libyan desert glass
 

So I’ve meditated with it twice so far and today was one of the most intense meditations I’ve ever had. It was like watching a movie of all of my painful experiences in life and getting validations for how I felt at that particular time. Anyone else experienced this before?

Just wondering, what's the difference between Libyan/Desert Glass and glass from a beach, lake, or any other body of sand? Thanks!

It is a tektite, so yes, totally different!

Libyan Desert Glass is an impactite Tektite. She was created when a Meteorite struck Libya ages ago, causing the space rock to fuse with earthly sand. The crash sent this newly formed mineral flying into the air. Libyan Desert Glass was ejected across the East Sahara and West Egypt

Found only in the Western Desert of Egypt and Libya, desert glass is known as the somewhat gentler sister stone to moldavite. Even though its energies are less intense than moldavite, it's still a powerful solar plexus stone that helps you to connect with who you authentically are, and then radiate it fearlessly!


Its other name is more common to me, and feels better: Libyan gold tektite.

I'm not sure there is much structural difference. Pretty much melted then solidified sand, I suppose. Just the desert stuff was formed by a meteor impact and the stuff on the beach is old broken bottles.

One big difference is Libyan Desert Glass has virtually no water in it whereas glass does. Moldavite and Libyan Desert Glass are Glass, but both will scratch Glass.

When we get a full understanding of Tektites, we might have solved some of the mysteries of the Universe.

Thanks for enlightening me, everyone.
