As a result of the heat and pressure of the impact event, desert sands were melted and formed an impact glass in a a wide range of shapes and colors from yellowish-white to yellow and black-yellow. They can have aerodynamic features similar to meteorites as a result of being thrown into the air in a molten state. Ancient Egyptians already knew about these rocks, and they picked them up and used them to make tools and jewelry for the Pharaohs. Picture 2 shows the famous Winged Scarab Pendant of Tutankhamun.
