This is a hand crafted tumbled moldavite Pendant. Total weight is 2.55 Grams/12.75ct including setting. The moldavite is .9 grams. The moldavite is set with Sterling silver in a bezel style with a full back. This produces a different kind of light reflection as compared to a see through setting. One of a kind features include a stylish swirl bail as well as hand stamped sterling mark.
Bail is non-intrusive making this sturdy design an excellent pendant + meditation piece. The bail of this pendant is handcrafted and set by a long time New England artisan, Sussy Rose Shields.
Tumbled moldavite is the easiest to verify for authenticity. This piece has been inspected via scope to be full of visible air bubbles and inclusions before setting. Also, tumbled moldavite is getting less common as raw moldavite prices have risen.
Moldavite has been linked to the 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.
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.
