Formed by a meteorite impact in Southern Germany 14 million years ago, Moldavite is a form of natural glass valued as a gemstone.  When meteorites strike the earth, the heat and force fuses silicas in the ground into a naturally forming glass (tektites) that can be thrown thousands of miles in what are called "strewn fields".   Moldavites, with their mossy green color, are the only tektites that are considered a true gem quality mineral, and can be found in parts of Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic.

This moldavite piece was sourced in the Czech Republic, and carefully placed in a sterling silver setting.

The perfect piece for any lover of astronomy.
