Tektite Jewelry, Black Glass Pendant Necklace, Astronomy Geek

From the maker

Jewelry made from a tektite, the black glass that is created when a meteor hits the earth. The pendant in this necklace was created by the heat & force of the impact, melting the earth into blobs of glass. Some pieces have several tiny inclusions and crystals that formed as they cooled. It's the perfect gift for an astronomy geek!

Each tektite is unique; you will receive one similar to the photos, running between 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches (3.2 to 3.8 cm) long, wrapped in sterling silver wire. The pendant comes on a silver-plated chain that ends in a self-closing clasp, but you can slip it off and add it to the choker or necklace of your choice, & you can also purchase a sterling silver chain from me here

Natural Tektite Bracelet, Sterling Silver Chain, Hematite Stone

$34.00

A tektite bracelet made with small rounds of hematite and a sterling silver chain. The tektite is entirely natural except for the drill hole through the centre; the glass is black and unpolished. Tektites are natural ejecta caused by meteorite strikes on the earth's surface. The heat of the impact melts some of the surrounding terrain, which forms into glass. While not technically a rock, tektite is sometimes categorized as a semi-precious gemstone. This tektite piece is over 2/3 of an inch (19 mm) long, and nearly 1 inch (21 mm) wide. Each hematite stone is 4 mm in diameter. The wire wrap is sterling silver. The bracelet is available in lengths from 6 inches to almost 10 inches (about 15 cm up to 25 cm) - I have attached a long piece of curb chain to the non-clasp end, and can cut it to any size you prefer. The trigger free clasp makes bracelet wearing so much easier than standard lobster clasps.

Authentic Meteorite Necklace, Campo del Cielo, Polished Space Rock

from $58.00

D) The last meteorite (photos 7-8) is over 4/5 of an inch (21 mm) long, and nearly 1/2 an inch (11 mm) wide, in a prong setting

Campo del Cielo is an iron-based meteorite, so heavier than most gemstone necklaces of the same size, although these pieces are mostly small. The cable chains are 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 inches (41, 46, 51, 56 and 61 cm) long; you can choose the length you prefer. All metals are sterling silver.

Black Tektite Ear Cuff, Genuine Meteorite Glass

$13.00

Genuine black tektite ear cuff, a real space artifact dangling from your ear! Each piece looks a bit like lava, but is actually a tektite, glass created when a meteor or comet struck the earth. The force of the impact melts the surrounding rock, & the debris can scatter over quite a distance. A must-have for astronomy buffs or geology geeks! Your ear cuff will appear very similar to the ones shown in the photos; the last image shows the pieces I have in stock at the moment. Each tektite measures from 3/5 to 4/5 of an inch (1.5-2 cm) long, & will dangle over 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the silver-plated cuff. You can also get the same style in gold plate (not shown). This type of ear cuff hangs from the middle of your ear and is 1/4 inch (6 mm) high, as shown in the 3rd & 4th photos.

Green Moldavite Earrings, Faceted Tektite Gems, Sterling Hooks

$79.00

Genuine green moldavite earrings, tiny faceted beads direct from the Czech Republic, the main source for true moldavite. This green glass is a specific type of tektite, formed from an extraterrestrial impact over 14 million years ago - read more here. This is an amazing material to have dangling from your ears! Moldavite has become very popular recently, and good-quality beads are becoming more difficult to find at an affordable price. Each moldavite bead is about 1/5 of an inch (5 mm) across, and is wire-wrapped to sterling silver hooks. I also have hypoallergenic surgical steel hooks you can substitute in for the sterling if you wish. Your earrings will be similar to those shown - they are very dainty and lightweight. Some are more olive green than others.
