Moldavite & Quartz Silver Pendants: New

Moldavite & Quartz Pendants: Czech Republic, New

The clear Quartz is from the Himalayas and the sterling Silver crafting set in northern India.

Moldavite’s frequency may take some getting used to, but its profound ability to accelerate one’s personal and spiritual evolution makes it highly sought after in the metaphysical world, both for its life-altering capabilities and as a catalyst for drawing in Light to aid in Earth’s healing. This beautiful stone is rare, found only in Czechoslovakia, and is named for the area in which it is found, near the Moldau River (called the Vltava in Czech). While scientists differ in theories regarding Moldavite’s origin, nearly all agree its formation coincides with the crash of a large meteorite approximately 14.8 million years ago in what is now the Bohemian plateau.

Moldavite is a member of the Tektite group of natural glasses formed from interplanetary collisions. From the Greek word tektos, meaning "molten". Tektites are glassy mixtures of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and other metal oxides with an amorphous crystal structure. Unlike other Tektites from around the world, which are tar black or brownish-black, translucent Moldavite is a deep forest green and is the only variety suitable for cutting and faceting as a gem.
