Libyan Gold Tektite (Libyan Desert Glass) large - 10.6g - probable Neolithic retail tool

retail Libyan Gold Tektite (Libyan Desert Glass) large - 10.6g Formed approximately 26 million years ago (possibly from a meteoric large aerial burst), Libyan Desert Glass is a golden coloured Tektite, used by man to make tools since the Pleistocene era and also by the Pharaohs as jewellery. This large natural example measures approx. 5.5 cms x 2.7 cms x 0.7 cms at the widest points and weighs 10.6g and is even nicer in real life than I have been able to capture with my camera. Libyan Gold Tektite is said to be a stone of confidence and is also one of the high vibrational stones.

This piece is most likely been worked by Neolithic man into a hand tool, two of the faces have been knapped.
