Statement piece Moldavite/LDG Copper pendant - 18.8g

Intricately framed in antiqued copper and paired with a complementary piece of Libyan Desert Glass, the pendant celebrates two of the world's most fascinating impact glasses in a single commanding creation. The substantial Moldavite retains all of the qualities that made it exceptional as a standalone specimen: a beautifully balanced medallion-like form, rich deep green colouration, and pronounced natural sculpture across its surface.

Particularly striking are the deeply etched textures preserved across the thicker side of the stone, creating an almost alien landscape of ridges, contours and natural relief that draw the eye from every angle. On the reverse, nature has left a remarkable heart-shaped indentation, an unusually symmetrical feature that adds individuality and character to an already exceptional piece.

Specimens of this size, preservation and aesthetic appeal are becoming increasingly difficult to source, making this pendant far more than jewellery alone. It is a genuine collector's specimen that can be worn and appreciated daily.

Bold, substantial and impossible to overlook, this is a piece for those who appreciate the rare intersection of natural history, artistry and personal adornment. A true statement pendant that is certain to attract attention, invite conversation and remain treasured for generations to come.

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.
