History
One of the rarest stones to find is considered to be an impact glass that can be found in one of the most difficult places to reach on earth, near the Egyptian-Libyan border. It is also sometimes referred to as Libyan Desert Glass or Gold Tektite, and is of a very beautiful and striking yellow-golden hue which is often related to the vibration of the Golden Ray, a very powerful spiritual vibration.
The chemical name for this glass is Silicon dioxide and its chemical formula is SiO2. The classification of Desert Glass comes under Mineraloid and has a very amorphous natural glass structure. Although many consider glass to be a man-made item, Desert Glass is proof of the existence of glass in varying degrees of nature. When Desert Glass is concerned most of the times its specific gravity will vary depending on the specific glass you have in your hand but it is generally 2.2. Mohs hardness and the toughness of the glass is also varying with every piece.
When looked at closely, Desert Glass can also contain gas bubbles inside its structure which differ from glass to glass. With a very vitreous luster, Desert Glass can appear to be both semi-transparent and translucent depending on the light that it is exposed to. It has a refractive index of 1.46 and can be found in colors varying from light yellow to greenish yellow. Desert Glass is also referred to as the Great Sand Sea glass and there are varying degrees of evidence suggesting that it was used as a tool during the Pleistocene age. There is also evidence that suggests that Desert Glass was used by the Egyptians as the Tutankhamun pendant also has a part that is made from yellow and green Desert Glass.
The Egyptians were also known to refer to this crystal as the “Rock of God”. No one can say for sure where it is that the Desert Glass first originated and this mystery has led to making this glass one of most sought after crystals in the world. Libyan Desert Glass, is a relatively “new” healing stone whose healing properties have only recently been explored. It isn’t included in any ancient or medieval lapidary, books describing healing stones and their power. The gem was prized by ancient Egyptians, but was likely found at random rather than deliberately mined.
Libyan Desert Glass is a type of Tektite, a natural glass created by a meteorite strike. Tektites are formed when terrestrial rocks are thrown up into the air after a meteorite strikes the Earth. The force and heat of the meteorite impact is such that it briefly liquidizes everything it touches. The terrestrial material soon returns to a solid shape and becomes a type of natural glass, similar to Obsidian. Despite the fact that meteorites strike the earth fairly regularly, Tektites are only formed during very special, and seldom met, conditions.

Libyan Desert Glass encourages us to realize our full potential and to thrive in the life we are given and the life we create for ourselves. It helps us to trust our “gut instincts” and to have the patient courage to go after our dreams, especially the big scary dreams that take years to achieve.

If we fear losing people if we have boundaries, Libyan Desert Glass teases us right out of that nonsense. It reminds us that life is too precious to spend it with people who make us miserable or fill us with doubt. It teaches that self-love and self-respect is just as important as any love we feel for others.

It’s best to keep this glass close to you but you are advised to not keep it on your person all the time as it can be a very difficult stone to control.
Charging and Cleansing
Libyan gold tektite has a potent energy that should be recharged. Revitalize its energy by placing it beside the crystal chargers like Selenite and Amethyst. Place the stone under the sun for a few hours. Place it under the moonlight overnight. Burn the dried sage leaves, let the smoke surrounds the crystal, and cleanse its energy.
Crystal Charger - There are many tools that can help charge your crystals. Whether you use a pyramid, large selenite plates or bowls, or grids, you can enhance the powers of your stones as you charge them. As with other methods, you should set an intention when placing your stones on a crystal charger.
Sun - While the sun can charge your stones very quickly, you will want to remove the stone from the sun after an hour or two as the sun could discolor your crystals (even those that are sun-safe). You can set your stone outside or on a windowsill to absorb the powerful energy from the heavens. The time you need to charge your crystals will vary, but they can often be ready in just a few minutes.
Full Moon - Cleansing your stones with the full moon is an excellent way to remove negativity. At twilight, place your crystals on a windowsill or a place where they will be able to absorb the light of the moon (and its vibrations). Remove the stone the following morning before the sun gets too high into the sky. You can also place several stones on a grid to charge with a specific intention.
Smudging - Smudging your stones will immediately remove negative energies, so it is important to open a window for them to leave if you are cleansing your crystals indoors. Simply light either used bundled or loose sage with a match then blow out the flame to produce smoke. Wave the stone through the smoke for 30 to 60 seconds to clear bad vibrations. Ensure you use a fire-safe bowl or plate for safety.
