This is a hand crafted Moldavite Pendant. Total weight is 3 Grams/15Ct. The moldavite is tumbled and weighs ~1.3gr/6.5ct. The sterling silver bezel setting has a crowned cap. This is a very sturdy, high quality design lending itself as an excellent mediation piece.
This pendant was handcrafted by a long time New England artisan and master silversmith, Sussy Rose Shields. Sussy has been a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen since 1988.
This tumbled moldavite has multiple ( 10+ ) visible air bubbles. Also seen are 3 larger elongated air bubbles. Please see video and pictures. This pendant is unique both for the individual setting and an uncommon tumbled moldavite.
Known as the Emerald that fell from the universe, Moldavite is a tektite (Meteorite) with a hardness ranging from 5.5 - 6.5 on the Mohs scale. The asteroid hit the earth during the Middle to Upper Miocene age in what is now known as the Ries Crater in Barvaria (Germany). For geological reference the miocene age ( ~ 16 - 11.5 million years ago ) is the time period that South America drifted west to near its present position, the Andes mountains continued formation, and many of the continents shifted to current bounded landscapes. 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 of the earth.
Moldavite has been linked to legends of the Holy Grail, thought to be an emerald that fell from the sky out of Lucifer’s crown before he was cast from Heaven. In Czech lore, it was given as a betrothal gift to bring harmony to marital relations, and for centuries has been used in jewelry, religious items and for spiritual transformation.
