Whose name is attached to the desert glass found in the Sahara?

The mysterious yellow-green natural glass scattered across parts of the eastern Sahara became known through geological exploration in the 20th century. Researchers studied it as evidence of an ancient high-energy event, likely an airburst or impact-related phenomenon, though details remain debated. It is associated especially with the Libyan Desert in Egypt and Libya. The material became famous partly because a piece of it appears in an ancient Egyptian pectoral associated with Tutankhamun.
