10.49 ct. Libyan Desert Glass Scarab with Ankh Carving

This exceptional 10.49-carat scarab carving, expertly crafted from Libyan Desert Glass (also known as Libyan Gold or Golden Tektite), features a beautifully engraved ankh on its underside. Combining two of Ancient Egypt’s most iconic symbols—the scarab and the ankh—this piece is a unique and meaningful talisman. Measuring 16 x 12 x 7 mm, the carving embodies transformation, protection, eternal life, and the balance between earthly and spiritual realms.

Formed approximately 29 million years ago during a meteorite impact or airburst near the border of Libya and Egypt, Libyan Desert Glass is a nearly pure silica glass created by temperatures exceeding 1,600°C. Revered for its cosmic origins and historical significance, it famously adorned King Tutankhamun’s burial artifacts, including the scarab centerpiece on his breastplate.

This unique carving is perfect for meditation, energy work, or as a collector’s centerpiece. Its vibrant yellow hue resonates with the solar plexus chakra, inspiring confidence and personal empowerment while connecting to higher realms of spiritual wisdom.

FAQ

Are the stones you use natural?

Yes! All of the stones we use are high-grade, premium, and 100% natural just as Gaia made them. They are not treated in any way (heat, irradiation, dye, stabilized, etc.) because some treatments alter the vibrational nature of the stone and can be detrimental to the energy field of the wearer.

Do pieces come in other sizes or stone combinations?

Each piece made is unique and not made to order. Therefore, this piece cannot be altered and does not come in other sizes or stone combinations. However, if you like this piece and want it longer, made with different stones, or altered in any way, please reach out to request a custom order via the Contact page.

Who made the pieces in your store?

Each piece is handcrafted with intention and love by founder Ashley Sohl. She hand-picks every stone and component that is used, and handmakes each piece with care and attention. We do not believe in mass produced, cookie-cutter jewelry. Sanctuary Vibrational Jewelry makes unique stone ally adornments for inner journeys and personal transformation.

How do you know the vibration of the stones?

The vibrational qualities are painstakingly tested by Ashley using a comibination of ancient and modern vibrational scientific techniques from different schools of thought, including BioGeometry, physical Radiesthesia, New Homeopathy, and more.

Do you use real gold?

Yes! We use solid 14k gold. We recently started offering gold-filled as an option to make pieces accessible to more people. If gold-filled doesn't show up as an option, please contact me to request a custom.

I want a piece that is sold out. What should I do?

Every piece I make is a genuine one of a kind. If you see a piece you like, but is sold out, you can request a custom order to have me make another one. But please be aware that some stones are very rare and I may not be able to source the exact same stones. Use the contact page to send me a message and we can discuss from there.
