Polished and Faceted Triangular Cut Moldavite

Moldavite is a natural green tektite glass which fell to earth 14.7 million years ago following a huge meteorite impact in the Moldau River area of southern Bohemia in present day Germany.As it fell back through the atmosphere it solidified into the many and varied shaped we recognize as moldavite. Most moldavite has natural inclusions with bubbly textures which is why it is usually not faceted into gemstones. We have found that only about one percent of these gems are suitable to cut and facet. Your trilliant cut moldavite pendant comes on your choice of necklace along with a descriptive card about this unique gemstone.
