The Most Beautiful Glass

It's not uncommon to spot rocks and pieces of glass as you wander around the desert, but next time you head to this barren landscape, keep your eyes peeled for Libyan desert glass. Found primarily in the Saharan, Libyan, and Egyptian deserts, this glass is unlike anything else you'll find on this Earth. In fact, it's so unusual that very little is known about where this glass came from or how it was exactly formed.

What we do know about this particular desert glass is that it requires temperatures higher than 1,600 °C to form, which is hotter than any other rock found on this planet.
