Nicely sculpted Moldavite specimen from Marouskovo Pole set in antiqued copper. This fine piece weighs 3.07 grams in its raw form and displays elegant natural shaping typical of Moldavite from this locality.
Thanks to its relatively thin profile, the stone is highly translucent, allowing a generous amount of light to pass through and reveal the rich green tones within the glass. Pieces like this are especially appealing when worn in natural light, where the internal glow of the Moldavite becomes particularly noticeable.
The specimen has been tastefully wrapped in antiqued copper, which complements the deep green colour of the stone while giving the pendant a slightly rustic, earthy character.
A matching brass chain is included, making it ready to wear or gift.
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.
