Rough Moldavite Silver Stud Earrings

Moldavite is a natural tektite — a genuine glass formed by an ancient meteorite impact, not a lab-made or synthetic material. This pair of 925 sterling silver stud earrings sets a rough, uncut piece of moldavite so its deep mossy-green color and naturally pitted texture remain fully visible. Each stud is one of a kind, with shape and texture varying from piece to piece.

How to wear it These are simple stud earrings, easy to wear daily. Because moldavite can be brittle, avoid activities where they might be knocked against a hard surface.

Clean by wiping gently with a soft, dry cloth rather than soaking or using ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can affect the setting. Frequently asked questions What is moldavite, and what is it for? Moldavite is a natural tektite — a green glass formed roughly 15 million years ago when a meteorite struck what is now the Czech Republic, fusing and scattering molten earth that cooled into glass. These earrings set a rough, uncut piece in a 925 sterling silver stud. In crystal tradition it's associated with transformation and spiritual growth. This is a decorative/symbolic piece, not a health product or medical device. Is moldavite a real gemstone, or is it glass? Both, in a sense — moldavite is a genuine natural material, but scientifically it is a glass (a tektite), not a crystal in the mineralogical sense. It formed naturally from meteorite-impact heat, unlike man-made glass, which makes it distinct from synthetic 'moldavite' imitations sold in the market. How can I tell real moldavite from a fake? Genuine moldavite is only found in a limited strewn field in the Czech Republic and has a distinctive pitted, textured surface with a mossy, olive-to-forest green color and internal flow patterns or tiny bubbles when viewed closely. Because moldavite is rare and valuable, common glass fakes (often bottle glass melted and shaped) are widespread — buying from a source that can speak to sourcing, like ours, is the best way to ensure authenticity. Is it water-safe, and can I wear it daily? Moldavite is moderately hard but can be brittle, so treat it gently. Remove the earrings before swimming, showering, or exercising, and avoid knocking them against hard surfaces. Clean by wiping gently with a soft, dry cloth rather than soaking. How do I cleanse and charge it? Many people cleanse moldavite with sound (like a singing bowl), moonlight, or a smudging tradition rather than soaking it, since it can be brittle and its texture is best kept dry. What pairs well with these earrings? Moldavite is often paired with grounding stones to balance its high-vibration reputation, and it matches nicely with our matching necklace pendant.
