Often referred to by crystal enthusiasts as “The Stone of Attunement,” they are associated with clarity, alignment and heightened awareness. Their glass-like transparency and natural geometry make them one of the most sought-after forms of quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, Moldavite and Herkimer Diamond are considered by many collectors and crystal enthusiasts to be a particularly complementary pairing — combining the extraordinary story of a 15-million-year-old Czech tektite with the brilliance and symmetry of one of nature’s most beautiful quartz formations.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e40cm to 46cm adjustable chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unique piece celebrating contrast, balance and the incredible artistry of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach piece comes with a certificate of authenticity tied to a money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat is Moldavite \u0026amp; where is it from?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMoldavite is a rare tektite or meteoric glass, caused by an asteroid impact 15 million years ago.
