Moldavite Owl Ring
Owl symbolism: wisdom and knowledge, truth seeking, the femininity of the moon and transformation.
This one of a kind ring features a piece of Moldavite which has been carved into an owl with gold bezel set peridot eyes and mounted on a sterling silver band with 18k gold hammered embellishment. It fits a size 8.
Moldavite is a variety of Tektite, a geologic term used to describe an extremely rare type of natural glass created during meteoric impact events on earth. There are just a handful of different Tektites known on earth but Moldavite is the most famous. More recently, Moldavite has been viewed as a relic of the legend of the Holy Grail.
In some recountings, the Grail was said to be not a cup, but a stone, an Emerald that fell from the sky. In other stories, the Grail cup was carved from the Emerald. The correspondences of the Stone of the Grail with Moldavite are clear. The ancients called all clear green gemstones Emeralds, and Moldavite is the only such stone ever to have fallen from the sky. In history, there was even a physical 'Grail' discovered and brought to Napoleon, who was disappointed to find it was green glass. But, of course, Moldavite is green glass. Another chalice, this one made of gold and adorned with Moldavites, was passed down through the centuries and disappeared during the second World War. In the 1930s, the famed artist, mystic Nicholas Roerich, compared a Moldavite (which he called agni mani, meaning 'fire pearl') to the fabled Stone of Shambhala, further asserting it was the same stone contained in the Holy Grail. Interestingly, the energetic effects of Moldavite parallel those attributed to the fabled Grail stone. In Czech folklore, Moldavite was believed to bring harmony to marital relationships, and was used as a traditional betrothal gift for centuries.
