Libyan Desert glass is a type of tektite/impactite, is a canary yellow, glass-like mineral that is formed when silica is exposed to extreme heat and pressure. Libyan Desert glass is believed to have origins involving a meteor shower in the Sahara Desert nearly 29 million years ago. For many years scientists have believed that the mineral is the result of an extremely large air-blast, roughly 100 megatons, caused by an explosion in space near earth’s atmosphere. After extensive analysis, scientists have discovered that Libyan Desert glass is indeed created by meteor impacts.
