7.91 ct. Libyan Desert Glass Scarab Carving

This extraordinary 7.91-carat scarab carving, masterfully crafted from Libyan Desert Glass (also known as Libyan Gold or Golden Tektite), radiates a luminous light yellow hue with buttery undertones. Measuring 17 x 11 x 6 mm, this piece is a stunning embodiment of the cosmic and terrestrial energies that define this rare material.

Formed over 29 million years ago, Libyan Desert Glass is a nearly pure silica glass created by a meteorite impact or airburst that generated temperatures exceeding 1,600°C—hotter than any naturally occurring rock-forming process on Earth. This gem’s historical significance is amplified by its connection to King Tutankhamun’s burial artifacts, where similar scarabs symbolized protection, transformation, and the eternal journey of the soul.

This carving is both a spiritual talisman and a collector's treasure, combining beauty, rarity, and profound energetic resonance.

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.
