"Fulgurite" Phenomenon: Custom Precision Trillion Cut Libyan Desert Glass (5.5 ct)

A phenomenal piece of natural glass with a history etched by the elemental forces of the cosmos and the desert.

The Essence of Energy:

This spectacular 5.5 carat Libyan Desert Glass (LDG) has been transformed from a raw, ancient relic into a brilliant modern gemstone. Formed through natural phenomena, this rare material is believed by many to have been created when a massive meteorite impact melted the desert sand into a nearly pure silica glass.

However, the powerful energy it holds suggests a deep connection to other natural forces, sometimes referred to as "Fulgurite"—the rare glass tubes created when a lightning bolt strikes the sand, instantly fusing it into glass by reaching temperatures over 3,000°F. Whether born of cosmic impact or the intense power of a desert lightning strike, this gem embodies raw, geological power.

Custom Precision & Dazzling Cut:

  • Gemstone: Natural Libyan Desert Glass (LDG)

  • Weight: 5.5 Carats

  • Cut: Custom Precision Trillion

  • Color: Clear, Translucent Golden-Yellow / Champagne

  • Origin: Great Sand Sea, Sahara Desert (Egypt/Libya Border)

  • Clarity: Characteristic light inclusions and natural bubbles, evidence of its formation.

The modern precision trillion cut—a striking triangular shape—gives this ancient material an entirely new life. Each facet is intentionally placed to capture and reflect light, showcasing the LDG's unique transparency and warm, golden hue with dazzling brilliance.

A Piece of History:

Libyan Desert Glass holds an unparalleled mystique. Revered by the Ancient Egyptians, a piece of LDG was famously found carved as a scarab in King Tutankhamun's burial jewelry. Owning this gem is holding a piece of Earth's cataclysmic history.

Ideal For:

  • A striking, one-of-a-kind pendant or solitaire ring.

  • The serious gemstone collector or enthusiast of impactite/tektite materials.

  • Someone seeking a truly unique and conversation-starting piece of jewelry.

Own a gem created by a force of nature, perfectly cut to release its inner fire.
