This is a beautiful batch of Libyan Desert Glass which is molten quartz sand from an immense meteorite impact in the Sahara desert millions of years ago. This material is found only in a small area of the Egypt/Libya borders. Libyan Desert glass has been revered for thousands of years, many pieces carved in to scarabs and found in Egyptian tombs, and even artifacts such as spearpoints and knives have been found. Recently the government of Egypt has stopped all collecting of this material, so it is getting hard to find. This is a batch of Libyan Desert Glass, a dealer lot, many many broken pieces, from a batch I got two months ago. I received a shipment and t were many pieces broken in shipping. Even the broken chips have serious value, so I am auctioning them off in a so-called "dealer lot" perfect for resale specimens. T are far too many pieces to count, of all sizes from very small to several inches across. This lot should selll for more than $250.00. I am a meteorite dealer and fully gaurantee the authenticity of every meteorite and tektite specimen I sell. Be sure to see me in the March 1999 issue of the Smithsonian Magazine, I am featured in an article about meteorite hunters! I am also featured in Fortune Small Business magazine. Fortune Small Business Magazine Go see my Website for more great and rare meteorites. Mike'
