eBay Tektites are a type of IMPACT GLASS, small, naturally-occurring objects, formed when a huge meteor slams into the Earth with such force that the surface rock material is melted and blasted into the upper atmosphere at high speeds. Here, the ejected molten rock cools and hardens, preserving its splashed, melted shape, which can also indicate how (and how fast) it was spinning in flight, if at all. Then, as it falls back down to Earth, it is subjected to “ablation”, the surface melting due to the friction with the air, the result of its high speed flight back down through the atmosphere, creating its rough, pitted appearance (tiny crater-like indentations called Regmaglypts). Most pieces fracture or shatter upon hitting the ground but, depending on local conditions where each individual piece lands, some survive undamaged, in remarkable condition. MOLDAVITES were formed almost 15 million years ago when a very large meteor, just under a mile across, slammed into what is now southern Germany, creating the Ries Impact Basin, also called the Ries crater. Material was blasted out as described above, with the first recovered specimens being found in the late 1700’s in the MOLDAU River Valley (in what is now the Czech Republic), hence the name MOLDAVITES. They usually appear as dull and darkish green in color when held in your hand but become beautifully translucent when held up to a light source. Prized by some New-Agers for their healing, magical and mystical properties, we prefer you appreciate them for their stunning beauty, rarity and scientific other-worldly origin. Just please remember, MOLDAVITES ARE NOT FROM SPACE! They are the splash, the ejecta, from when a massive meteor (which IS FROM SPACE!) collided with the Earth but they, themselves, are NOT FROM SPACE! This particular pendant features three MOLDAVITE specimens, two of which have been cut and polished on their front surface, while the third is in its natural “raw” form. It is important to note that to set the bottom “raw” MOLDAVITE in this pendant, the artist at STARBORN used an older style of layered mount, which raises the specimen slightly but allows light to enter from the side, which helps to give the piece a chance to “glow” in any available light as it is worn. Due to the increased cost of silver and the labor involved to custom make such a mount, they have not used this type of setting in MANY years but it does help to give the piece a distinct look. ALL of the metal in this pendant is Sterling Silver. The whole pendant measures 1 11/16″ tall as it hangs, 1″ at its widest point, and 7/16″ at its thickest point. The total, combined weight of the MOLDAVITE specimens is 8.6 cts. The total weight of the pendant is 14.9 grams, which does NOT include the weight of the chain. From time to time, we receive a pendant from STARBORN which makes it seem like they challenged their artist to go wild, have some fun, and see what s/he can come up with…and the result can be astounding. This selection is an magnificent example! It starts at the top, with a textured bail (jump-ring). Just below that, the next element is a cut, polished, and faceted GREEN AMETHYST (6.5 cts). To help compliment, accentuate, and add some contrast to highlight and offset the MOLDAVITES, as well as to enhance the overall look of the piece, this pendant also features three cut, polished and faceted WHITE TOPAZ (1.7 cts combined). Simply OUTSTANDING!!! The above photos are of the actual pendant that you will receive. A ruler and a quarter are shown in the one photo for scale and reference and all measurements are to the nearest 1/16th of an inch but rounded down, NOT up. The length/height is measured from the top of the setting to the bottom but does not include the bail or any part of its structure or the jump ring. Each pendant is custom made by hand, based on the individual specimen. The INSIDE of the jump ring is stamped with the “shooting star” logo of STARBORN CREATIONS along with “925” to authenticate that this is a Sterling Silver setting. To make this a complete gift, we also include an 18″ (with a 2″ extension) snake chain. The chain that is included is Sterling Silver plating over Brass, NOT solid Sterling Silver. As chain lengths and style are highly personal, it is possible to easily replace the included gift chain with a different one of your choosing, whether from your own collection or from your favorite jeweler. A descriptive identification/authentication card is included with each MOLDAVITE pendant, along with our contact information stamped on the back, for quick and easy reference, if needed. I have tried to show this pendant in the ways in which you might look at it as you held it in your hands, from front to back, top to bottom, side to side, and of course, held up in front of a bright light. All photos were taken with 3 daylight, color-balanced, compact fluorescent bulbs to provide even and consistent lighting results, whether photographed against a white or gray background. As a result, I have NOT had to adjust the brightness or contrast of the posted photos. They do show the most accurate color and shading nuances. However, the bright “hot spots” visible on the silver surfaces are the results of reflections from these lights. PLEASE NOTE: Our photo “studio” is controlled and maintained by Grace and Andi, who have generously contributed some of their own hair to “highlight and enhance” the background of some of our photos, since they do spend about 20 hours a day sleeping there. This was done without our knowledge or permission and we tried our best to remove all that we could before we started shooting…and we failed, miserably! While this IS an apparent “feature” of some of our photos, we will NOT be including any cat hair with your purchase! STARBORN jewelry purchases are NOT eligible for our usual, multi-item postage refund, since the cost of postage is NOT figured in to the final selling price. We cover the cost of postage as our way of saying Thank You for your fine jewelry purchase.

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE with our GUARANTEE! We have tried to present as clear a picture and description of each item as possible. However, if you are not happy with your decision, you can either exchange or return your STARBORN purchase, no questions asked, within 30 days of receiving it, as long as it is still in new, unaltered/undamaged condition, and returned with any/all accompanying paperwork or certification.
