Desert Glass

Artwork of a man, the sea and game pieces

28 million year old Libyan desert glass:

‘It has extremely unusual properties. It is strangely pure for a natural glass. It melts at 1700 degrees rather than 1100 degrees for normal glass. It can be dropped into cold water when red hot without shattering.’

Can be found in Lyme Regis Museum

I simply can’t live without this piece
