Libyan desert glass, 28 million years ago was probably formed when an asteroid or comet hit the surface of the earth like a huge atomic bomb, unleashing enough destructive force to not only liquefy the rocks, sand and dirt at ground zero, but to splash the molten, mixed material up into the wispy outer atmospheric regions. Perhaps some escaped Earth's gravity altogether; the rest plummeted back in a rain of fire and molten glass. The crater marking the original impact site has not been discovered - no doubt it is under millions of pounds of sand. But wherever the original impact responsible for Libyan Desert Glass occurred, the results came to rest in the wilds of the Western Egyptian desert. Here we offer a nice coin-medal dedicated to this famous cosmic event. One side is a map of Egypt and surrounding territories showing the place where the tektite is found. The other side show the mask of King Tut and his decoration. Originals of both are in Cairo museum. The Decoration has a mounted scarab that is made from the Libyan Desert Glass.
