Glasses resulting from meteor impacts are called tektites and the Libyan desert glass falls into that category. There are many famous tektite occurrences all around the world. Probably the best known is the kind called Moldavite from its discovery in Moldavia in the former Czechoslovakia. Other famous tektite fields are found in Australia-southeast Asia, the U.S. and Ivory Coast. In Sanskrit tektites were called "agni mani" which translates as "fire pearl."

For the description of a trek to the Libyan location follow "Meteorite Man" Bob Haag here: Libya Those wishing to learn more can find lots of good info at Tektites and Tektite Lore
