Description from the seller
Pendant Moldavite - Black Tourmaline / new
Set in 925 sterling silver
17.9 ct / 3.58 g (weighed without leather strap)
33.6 mm x 8.5 mm x 7.6 mm
Brand new and unworn
Including leather strap
Moldavite is 14.8 million years old and belongs to the family of tectites. Tectites are natural terrestrial glass rocks that have condensed as vaporization products from the impact of a large meteorite. The Moldavite falls are scattered in fields along the Moldau, in present-day Czech Republic.
Tourmaline crystals usually form with trigonal symmetry and often develop well-formed, prismatic crystals with characteristic striations on the prism faces, which can occasionally grow several meters long. The crystals have a Mohs hardness of about 7 to 7.5, making them roughly as hard as quartz, and their streak color is white. Tourmalines are among the minerals with the greatest color variations. Depending on their composition, they can be colorless to black or display shades between blue, violet, red, yellow, brown, and green, with zones of different colors appearing on a single crystal. The colors can vary strongly in intensity depending on the angle at which light passes through the crystal (pleochroism).
Shipping as insured registered mail.
