隕石オークション (Meteoriten Hausコレクション)

リビア砂漠のガラス（LDG）は、サハラの大砂海で巨大な隕石が砂岩層を直撃した28百万年前に創られました。地表に衝突する際、運動エネルギーが巨大な爆発として開放され、隕石と周囲の地表が蒸発しました。熱で砂岩が溶け、現在は衝撃ガラスとして見られます。LDGは石器時代の初期にも道具作りに用いられてきました。新石器時代には鋭い刃物や削器が作られていました。LDGから作られた最も有名な宝石は、ツタンカーメン王の胸板のスカラベです。

Pendant Libyan Desert Glass 

Libyan Desert Glass (LDG)  was created 28 million ago, when a big meteorite hit the sandstone formation at the great sand see in the Sahara.
By hitting the ground the kinetic energy was set free in a huge explosion that vaporised the meteorite and the surrounding earth surface. The heat melted the Sandstone that is now found as impact glass. LDG has been used for making tools already in the early stone age. In the Neolithic times fine blades and scrapers have been made. The most famous piece of jewellery made from LDG is the scarab in the pectoral from pharaoh Tutankhamen.
