Desert Libyan Glass

Like the dunes, it is a rock with smooth contours, softer than other gems, and is considered rare because of its ability to withstand abrasions. It is regarded as the only stones that are smooth to the touch and do not resemble other gems on the market. It is found chiefly in Libya's desert and has existed for over 1 billion years. It comprises silicon dioxide, iron alumina, and calcium aluminum. The ability to withstand abrasions makes it one of the best minerals for the masses that are used for daily purposes.

It is believed that one of the reasons why this crystal shatters easily is because it has a water-based composition.
