Tektites JewelryTektites Jewelry

Tektites are created when a meteor strikes the earth, melting both the meteor and the earth's surface to create glass. The clearest, best gem quality variety of this is green, transluscent Moldavite, from the splash of an impact crater that landed near Moldavia, Czechoslavakia about 15 million years ago. Moldavite is generally coke-bottle green with ripples and sometimes called Vltava and is becoming somewhat rare. The black variety is generally referred to as Tektite and is usually from Tibet.

** Information on this Gemstone **

Mystical Properties: Tektites, being of extraterrestrial origin, are often considered to be transmitters of messages from other places, other planes and other dimensions. Holding the stone in the hand is said to make one receptive to these messages. Some believe the ripples are really rune-like writing.

Moldavite, gem quality green Tektite, has been used in jewelry for at least 25,000 years. Mystically, some believe the Holy Grail was really carved from Moldavite or a Moldavite like stone instead of from an emerald, as the Grail was said to be carved from the emerald that fell from the sky off Lucifer's crown when he fell from heaven.

Early peoples considered Moldavite a stone of luck, fertility and magical fulfillment of wishes.

All green gems are considered healing, however, Moldavite is said to be so powerful that only adepts and highly trained professionals should use the stone.

Moldavite is said to induce spiritual experiences.

Brown/Black Tektites are considered helpful in past-life regression.

In the Orient, Tektites were considered powerful talismans, while the Polynesians believed Tektites brought wealth and fertility.

Healing Properties: Considered a potent healer, especially for brain and nervous system disorders.

Scientific Properties: Moldavite is composed of non-crystalline glass, while Meteorites are usually iron bearing with some nickel.

Most Moldavite is mined on the banks of the river Mouldau in Czechoslavakia, but Moldavite is also found in Georgia (Georgiaite) and Australia (Australite). Meteorites may be found throughout the world. Hardness: 5.5 (Moldavite) to 6.0 (Tektites) on the Moh's Hardness Scale.

Buyer Beware! Genuine Moldavite has become quite rare and expensive. It resembles Coke glass (the same green coloring) and is quite frequently faked! Be sure you buy from a reputable dealer on this one and be very, very suspicious if you're not paying alot for a small piece.
