Darwin Glass was created when a meteorite impacted Tasmania approximately 800,000 years ago, this makes Darwin Glass the youngest in the translucent glass Tektites family commonly know as ‘meteor splash glass’ – which also include Moldavite and Libyan Desert Glass. It is quite rare for a splash tektite to form as it takes a special set of circumstances, it is believed that the meteor comes down with such force that it creates a huge explosion which blends both the meteor and earth creating a natural glass.
