This pendant features a striking piece of Libyan Desert Glass from Egypt’s Great Sand Sea. Its transparent yellow color and glassy luster create a warm, luminous appearance, while natural variations in the glass give the stone its individual character.
Libyan Desert Glass formed approximately 29 million years ago, likely when an impact event or aerial burst melted desert sand that then cooled rapidly. Today, this distinctive natural glass is valued by collectors for its unusual origin and golden beauty.

Care Instructions
Store the jewellery separately in its box between wears. Keep it away from water, perfumes, creams and household chemicals. Avoid impact, pressure and sudden temperature changes, as moldavite is a natural glass and may be damaged if dropped. Gently wipe the metal and stone with a soft, dry cloth.
