Gold-Coloured Glass & Steel Moldavite Locket
Featuring a genuine 0.41g Chlum Moldavite
Diameter: 24mm.
A beautifully crafted gold-coloured glass and stainless steel locket containing a genuine 0.41g Moldavite from Chlum.
The spherical glass chamber can be unscrewed, allowing you to open the locket and access the Moldavite specimen inside. The stone itself is not fixed in place and moves freely within the chamber — allowing it to be viewed from all angles as it naturally shifts and catches the light.
This piece offers a modern way to carry Moldavite while keeping the specimen fully visible and protected.
Chain not included.
Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity tied to a money back guarantee.
What is Moldavite & where is it from?
Moldavite 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.
From 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.
It 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.
99% of all Moldavite is found in a small area in the Southern part of the Czech Republic. It can be found on the surface but the highly prized, well preserved specimens are to be found up to 6m underground.
