This is a collector grade Moldavite Pendulum that is set with a 14k gold looped chain. Total weight is 3.75 grams. Please review the gem certificate for exact measurements.
There are very few moldavite pendulums being sold in today's market. Historically, most moldavite pendulums were made with a simple silver chain, not 14k gold. The limited availability of large gem quality rough moldavite pieces has made it very difficult to construct faceted pieces of this size.
Star Crystal shop has waited a significant time to receive a limited number of these pendulums with individual gem certificates. Please note that the gemology certificate is from Dr. Hyrsl, the same noted gemologist who recently inspected the crown jewels for the Czech Republic.
History
Known as the Emerald that fell from the universe, Moldavite is a tektite (Meteorite) with a hardness ranging from 5.6 - 7 on the Mohs scale. The asteroid hit the earth 15 million years ago in what is now known as the Ries Crater in Barvaria (Germany). The material from the impact was sent flying into the atmosphere, cooled down & formed the melted glass into what is now called Moldavite. The splash field or primarily landing of the melted crystals returning to earth is in the areas of South Bohemia (Czech Republic). Moldavite is not found in any other region on the earth.
These items will be shipped to you exactly as shown in the pictures above.
