"Space Candy!" is a 20" - 22" Necklace Featuring a 'Floating', Natural, Tektite, with a Bezel-set Diamond Accent, on an 18k Gold Over Sterling Chain. It's Outta This WORLD!
Tektites aren't really gemstones - they're natural glass, caused by atmospheric friction... When meteorites enter Earth's atmosphere - the friction caused by moving through the atmosphere at incredible speed builds up heat in the meteorite. When the meteorite impacts, it spends that heat energy (and usually itself) into the local rocks. This causes the rocks to melt with the remains of the meteorite, creating tektites. Cool, RIGHT?!
Some legends say that green tektites (Moldavite) are emeralds from heaven. Their scarcity makes them valuable; in Europe during the Middle Ages, tektite was used as a good luck talisman, in jewelry and for trade.
Tektites are associated with worlds outside our own. They are believed to facilitate communication with otherworldly realms and encourage spiritual growth. In some traditional societies, tektites are worn to promote fertility for both men and women.
