I have made a number of Genuine Moldavite rings, and am offering them for sale at a discount from the retail price of $375 for the copper and $450 for the same in sterling silver.
Genuine Moldavite is a RARE tektite, a glass-like combination of silicated metal oxides with a hardness of 5.5 to 6. Anything else is a fake.
Authentic Moldavite is the result of a huge meteorite crashing into the Earth 14.8 billion years ago, at roughly 20,000 miles per hour, over the Bohemian plateau of the Czech Republic.. It is only found in the Moldau River Valley — anyone telling you different is dead wrong, or outright lying, or both.
The color of most Moldavite is a sort of darkish forest green, although I have seen pale green, and some Moravian pieces tend to be somewhat brownish green. Gem grade stones can be absolutely stunning.
In its rough uncut form, Moldavite has a rippled surface, which can be polished and faceted to make gemstones and beads for jewelry.
Moldavite will typically have inclusions of gas bubbles and other inclusions within the stone, which is what makes it so magical, and therefore so desirable.
Genuine Moldavite is hard to come by, and there are literally thousands of tons of fake Moldavite on the market, because it is so desirable and so doggone rare.
My Moldavite is unconditionally guaranteed authentic. Period. But wait, there’s more…
I’ll be working on rings, with an eye toward the Ring Mastery Workshop at Easter, if all goes well. My plan is to send you a complete ring-making kit and a private video which has closeups of all the right moves.
It really is all about the moves, not about the product. Keep that in mind as you work with the rings and, in fact, all the wire and embossing work.
Come to think of it, that also applies to guitar, movements, flute, cooking, gardening, gathering eggs from laying hens, washing someone’s hair, dancing, drumming, trimming the turkey, and more.
Actually, it’s all a dance.
I’m not kidding. The whole universe is one writhing ball of dance and song. You should see and hear it from out where I live — thank the Nine Gods I’m always practicing my bagpipes at that time, so it doesn’t affect me much.
What really bothers me is the screaming of my neighbors. The only reason I don’t ask them to stop is that I can’t hear them over the bagpipes.
If you were to ask me the best way out of the Trump Universe, I’d recommend wearing a Moldavite Copper or Silver Power Ring in hopes of a pickup from a passing starship.
One item of noteworthy interest:
My rings are made without solder, without a torch, without casting, without heat and without high polishing.
Most jewelers I’ve met have been utterly fascinated by the Paleolithic Method of Ring-Crafting, but few have ever mastered the art — perhaps you’ll be one of the lucky exceptions.
The entire ring is fabricated from wire. The ring shank is formed from heavy special jewelry-grade copper wire, and so is the thinner wrapping wire that secures the stone within the ring.
Each ring is entirely handmade, with no power tools whatever — only a needle-nosed pliers and a flush-cutter, that’s all the equipment I ever use for these, plus a polishing cloth, because all my rings are hand-polished, never machine-polished, and always by me personally, to insure the best vibes possible.
Each ring is Purified and Blessed, then packaged up in my special “fixed specimen” super-clear packaging.
That’s the real secret to my jewelry sales — SUPER CLEAR packaging that can easily be scanned for online sales and seen by passers-by in street, boutique or gallery sales.
Of course, the double-bagging makes it all work, as predicted in the Gorebagg & the Grunts album. Name of the song? We will Frag You, Double Bag You”, naturally. Why even ask?
I’ve also made about two hundred rings in silver, and another 250 in copper, mostly the Druid Hardwoods variety, plus a number of rings featuring Roman Carnelian, some with Paleolithic stones that were made into beads around 14,000 B.C. — hard to find, these are!
There are a number of Paleo Bead rings that are not priced dearly, and you’ll find a nice assortment of ancient glass that dates back to 1200 B.C.-800 B.C. and some that is less expensive that dates back only about 2,000 years, to the Late Roman Empire.
You’ll also find on my ring racks several examples of Prehistoric Lizard Rings, meaning rings that feature stones made from Jurassic Meat-Eaters, mostly T-Rex, from our friend Jerry Hodges, who gave us an entire bagful of small fragments of T-Rex bones, plus some larger specimens — about a hundred great fossils of all kinds, mostly entire, mostly rare.
Those are emphatically not for sale, but the entire collection is available to someone willing to give it to a museum, in their name, of course. What a great gift to the person who has everything — the dinosaur hall in the local museum is named after them!!!
The (Your Name Here) Hall of Dinosaurs.
What a gift. How much would it cost? About $35,000 dollars would cover the pieces themselves, plus the installation and ten years of curating, which would amount to a donation roughly in the $100,000 range.
Want a bigger chunk of donation? Here are several possibilities:
- $300,000 allows us to pay off the Ashram mortgage.
- $300,000 buys a collection of early Jewish pottery dating from the Captivity AND the Exodus, authenticity guaranteed, full provenance. In-country for over 50 years.
- $450,000 buys a collection of otherwise unavailable museum-grade ancient jewelry that can be donated to any museum, by the execution of a Living Trust, for example.
There are other donation projects. Ask about them if you know someone who might have an interest.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention it — I have thousands of small $3.99 packets containing meteorites, crystals, fossils and random oddities. You might have some luck selling them on the street, if you have the opportunity, or give them away or sell them as giveaways to corporations — they’re always in need of a super-cheap but expensive-looking gift item, generally dozens or hundreds of them at a time.
Well, it’s back to the old grindstone for me — I’ll have a few dozen more rings by the morning show time. As you know, the storm knocked out AT&T, which means no internet at all yesterday, except intermittently.
See You At The Top!!!
