Moldavite from South Bohemia, Czech Republic - Pendant in 925 Sterling Silver

A Moldavite pendant in 925 sterling silver from South Bohemia, Czech Republic. The characteristic dark green color with frozen flow marks makes each piece unique.

Moldavite is a green tektite impact glass. It was formed approximately 14.7 million years ago during the Ries impact event in Southern Germany. The molten droplets solidified during their flight through the atmosphere and were distributed over large parts of Central Europe.

Gemologically, Moldavite belongs to the premium classification of the tektite family. In the international jewelry market, it stands in a league of its own.

The setting in 925 sterling silver follows traditional Central European jewelry craftsmanship. The fine silver claw setting, which leaves the tektite glass freely visible, is striking.

A collector's piece of jewelry in a compact pendant format with documented South Bohemian provenance and premium impact glass classification.
