This is a rare genuine Libyan desert glass tektite sphere. It is semi-transparent with a good quality finish and rich greenish yellow color. Trapped within this rare tektite sphere are some white cristobalite spherules with both individual spherules and stringers. Libyan desert glass tektites are thought to have been formed by the intense heat produced during a meteoric aerial burst over sand dunes in western Egypt approximately 28.5 million years ago.

Tektites are thought to have formed from the extreme heat and pressure produced during a meteorite impact on the surface of the earth, which is believed to have melted both the surface of the earth and the meteorite itself fusing them together into a natural glass tektite which cooled quickly as it fell back down to the earth after the meteorite impact's explosion.
