Very rare and genuine Libyan Desert Glass carving of Quan Yin, Goddess of compassion and mercy.
Quan Yin is an enlightened being whose name means 'she who hears prayers’, and it is believed that she answers all prayers invoked in her name. She represents the feminine principle in the Buddhist belief system and as such complements Buddha's Yang energy. She is the protector of women and children, and aids feminine beauty and grace, gentleness, compassion, kindness and benevolence.
This rare and precious carving is made from Libyan Desert Glass (known as the Golden Ray tektite) which is an extremely pure form of silica. Some pieces have a high iridium content (a typical meteoric material) and, like Moldavite, they are tektites. Tektites are primarily glass content objects, formed by a large meteor strike on the Earth’s surface. Unlike Moldavite, however, Libyan Desert Glass has been estimated at 28 million years old, in excess of 10 million years older then Moldavite.
Most tektites, with the exception of Moldavite, are black, but these beautiful specimens have a gorgeous straw yellow to pale apple green colour. They also often contain small dark speckles, which are remnants of meteor dust. Due to the many millions of years spent being gently polished by the shifting desert sands, they have a very soft, matte appearance.
Metaphysically Libyan Desert Glass shares some of the same properties as Moldavite. They are believed to be of particular benefit to sensitive people, especially 'star children' who may sometimes find it difficult being back here on the Earth plane with its heavy energies, principally those energies caused by the pain and suffering currently being experienced in the world today. They may also help these individuals reconnect to the otherworldly places that were once their homes; to reunite them with their Star Families and other Star Seeds, whilst also grounding them in the Earth plane so that they may get on with the task at hand during this incarnation. They also resonate with, and transmit the Golden Ray; which is the highest light vibration the physical body can receive.
Spiritually the planet is undergoing a huge awakening and energetic transformation. We are rediscovering and reconnecting with the Ancients and the knowledge held sacred to them, and as this process gathers pace, we are being given more and more powerful crystals to work with.
As our light quotient increases in our energetic body, we have been given access to beautiful Ascension crystals to aid us on this journey, like Phenacite, Azeztulite, Moldavite, Atlantean Record Keepers and Lemurian Seed Crystals to name a few. Libyan Dessert Glass is another of these wonderful, magical stones. It is a stone of Expansion, Compassion, Universal Love and Enlightenment; carrying with it the energy of the cosmos.
The carved piece of Libyan Desert Glass found in Tutankhamen’s breast plate/necklace (previously thought to be Chalcedony but since reclassified) was designed to be worn directly over the heart, and it is believed that by placing a piece over this area you will be able to activate the higher heart chakra, channelling cosmic energy directly to it. This energy will play a major part in our spiritual transformation and consciousness shift in the coming years. Add to this the symbolic representation of Quan Yin and you have an exquisite combination of energies.
Approximate size: H31mm x W20mm x D12mm

If you prefer your crystals 'in the rough' we have some excellent certificated natural pieces of Libyan Desert Glass in the 'Rough & Tumble' catalogue, which came from an official expedition in 2004 and which have only recently become available on the open market.
