Substantial in size and beautifully formed, it displays a deeply etched, highly textured natural surface with pronounced grooves, ridges and sculptural detail. Rather than hiding this remarkable character behind a conventional setting, the pendant has been designed around the stone, allowing its natural shape and texture to remain the dominant feature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Tree of Life has been masterfully formed and wrapped around the Moldavite in antiqued copper, with the individual branches spreading organically across the surface of the stone. The darker, aged finish of the copper works beautifully against the deep natural green of the Moldavite, highlighting its texture while giving the entire piece an earthy, almost ancient character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the base of the pendant sits a natural Herkimer diamond, providing a striking point of contrast. Its bright, crystalline clarity stands apart from both the richly textured Moldavite and the warm antiqued copper, adding another dimension to the piece without detracting from the magnificent central specimen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeyond the visual pairing, Moldavite and Herkimer diamond have long been considered highly compatible by those who work with the energetic properties of crystals. Herkimer diamond is often paired with Moldavite with the intention of amplifying its energy while bringing clarity and balance to the combination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Tree of Life itself adds another layer of symbolism — traditionally representing growth, connection, strength and the relationship between earth and the greater whole. Combined with Moldavite, a stone so closely associated with transformation and change, it makes for an especially fitting design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a substantial statement pendant and a true one-off: a rare-locality Czech Moldavite, natural Herkimer diamond and individually hand-worked Tree of Life brought together in a piece that celebrates both the extraordinary natural specimen and the craftsmanship surrounding it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA matching brass chain is included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMoldavite Weight: 10.02 grams\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMaterials: Copper and Moldavite\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLocality:  Lipi-Lisky\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"559\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEach piece comes with a certificate of authenticity tied to a money-back guarantee.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eWhat is Moldavite \u0026amp; where is it from?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMoldavite is a rare tektite or meteoric glass, caused by an asteroid impact 15 million 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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\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.
