A remarkable pendant featuring a natural Moldavite from Chlum in the Czech Republic, elegantly mounted in handcrafted 18Kt gold. The gemstone displays the characteristic olive-green to deep forest-green colour of Moldavite, with a translucent body and sculpted natural surface textures that reveal its extraordinary origin. Preserved in its natural shape, the stone showcases the distinctive etched patterns and flowing contours created during its formation.

Moldavite is a natural Tektite formed approximately 15 million years ago when a meteorite impact in southern Germany generated immense heat and pressure, melting terrestrial rocks and ejecting molten material across Central Europe. As this material cooled while travelling through the atmosphere, it solidified into the unique glass known today as Moldavite. Its unusual texture and colour make it one of the world's most sought-after impact-related gemstones.

The Chlum locality is among the most celebrated sources of fine Moldavite, producing specimens prized for their rich colour, transparency, and well-preserved surface sculpture. Combining extraterrestrial origins with natural beauty, this pendant represents a rare connection between geological processes on Earth and a dramatic event from the history of our solar system.
