Beschreibung:

Sahara Desert, Libya An extremely large natural glass specimen is composed of nearly pure silica. Chemical analysis indicates that it is locally enriched in meteoric elements, with typical chondritic proportions. This explanation leads to the conclusion that the Libyan Desert Glass results from a meteorite impact on a silica-rich target. Weighs 1157 grams
