Meteorite Glass "Heart Of Glass" 925 Silver Paperclip Necklace

Description

For fans of Egyptology, space science & Blondie. This beautiful heart pendant comes with a mystery! "Discovered" in the Great Sand Sea desert in 1933, this entrancing natural glass, thought to have been created from meteorite activity some 29 million years ago, has been highly prized since the advent of people.

Pharoahs loved it. Tutankhamun's tomb contained a pendant with Great Sand Sea Glass in it. Our hominid/human ancestors created tools with it, along with Obsidian, in the late Pleistocene era.

What catastrophic meteor caused this otherworldly glass in the desert between Libya and Egypt? That's still up for debate. Theories include "volcanoes from the moon", "meteorite plus lighting storms", "mid-air meteor explosions causing hydrothermal changes on the ground" or just an unknown, undiscovered massive crater lost to the sands of time.

Testing of the mystery meteorite glass reveals a mix of zirconium oxide, quartz, iron, titanium and other minerals, which raises even more questions as portions of this combo didn't exist in the Great Sand Sea 29 million years ago. Every answer for this little gem raises even more questions.
