It features a raw, elongated Moldavite crystal with a naturally etched, deeply textured surface and a dark green, almost mossy translucence toward the tip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Moldavite is securely capped in a smooth, polished sterling silver setting, creating a contrast between the rugged natural form and the refined metalwork. Above it, the bail connects to a unique, sculptural silver element—an irregular, openwork plate with multiple rounded cutouts and a frosted, hammered texture. This top component adds an artistic, almost cosmic or cellular feel, complementing the extraterrestrial origin of Moldavite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverall, the pendant blends raw natural beauty with modern, abstract silver design, making it a bold and one-of-a-kind statement piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"956\" data-start=\"953\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1045\" data-start=\"958\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1045\" data-start=\"958\"\u003eEach piece comes with a certificate of authenticity tied to a money back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1560\" data-start=\"1047\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1088\" data-start=\"1047\"\u003eWhat is Moldavite \u0026amp; where is it from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1091\" data-start=\"1088\"\u003eMoldavite is a rare tektite or meteoric glass, caused by an asteroid impact 15mil. years ago. The intense, 10,000°c+ temperatures of the strike vapourised the asteroid, target rock and sand, flinging the molten substance high into the atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1560\" data-start=\"1047\"\u003eFrom the impact zone in Germany some 300km away, It landed back to earth in what is now the Czech Republic and as it flew, it cooled and solidified into translucent green, glass-like droplets of various shapes and sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2005\" data-start=\"1562\"\u003eIt is said that only 1% of what had originally fallen is still intact to this day and the estimates of the total amount of Moldavite remaining is under 300 tonnes. In comparison with gold or diamonds, this makes Moldavite 1000x rarer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2005\" data-start=\"1562\"\u003e99% of all Moldavite is found in a small area in the Southern part of the Czech Republic.
