Moldavite with Tourmaline Wire Wrap Necklace

Rough Moldavite in Fine Silver (.9999%) wire wrap with Tourmaline.

Moldavite is a forest green, olive green or blue greenish vitreous silica projectile rock formed by a meteorite impact near Moldau River in Czechoslovakia. It is a type of tektite. There have been occasional reports of simulated Moldavite (man-made glass), but those pieces that I’ve seen are quite obvious and tend to be the intense color of old “7UP” bottles rather than the much more muted green of the natural material. As all glasses are, Moldavite is rather fragile gemstone and should treated with care and restricted to use in jewelry that doesn’t receive hard wear.

Please be aware that due to differences in monitor settings, color may vary slightly.
