Meteorite
Our Meteorite is sourced from the Gibeon Meteorite which fell to Namibia in prehistoric times. Radiometric dating places the age of crystallization of the Iron-Nickel metal in the Gibeon at 4 billion years. When cut, Meteorite exhibits a distinctive crystal structure (Widmanstätten patterns) formed as it cooled on the earth’s surface.
Moldavite
Prized for its vibrant colour, enigmatic origin, and interesting etched texture –– Moldavite is a forest green Vitreous Silica formed by the collision of a Meteorite on the Earth’s surface and the subsequent melting of surrounding rocks.
The impact occurred in the Ries Crater in Southern Germany 14.7 million years ago. The green colour is most likely due to the iron content and possibly some olivine (peridot) from the original Meteorite. This rare material was first discovered in 1787 in Czechoslovakia (about 500 km from their occurrence) near the River Moldau, hence the name Moldavite.
Labelled the ‘Most Powerful Crystal in the World’ –– Moldavite is purported to emit an energy that is very easy for most to connect with.
