Is this moldavite real?

You will notice better quality pieces and prices, unfortunately the very good stuff doesn't last long and goes of the site pretty fast. They had some nice stuff last month but it's now gone and off the site. Another thing you will notice is that they specify the locality it came from, if you get into collecting Moldavite; locality will start to matter.

What locality do you prefer?

On Phenakite I haven't done much research or looked around, I only own one piece that I bought at a local store.... I think 8 usd a gram (low quality). Same thing with Lemurians, I buy them at a local shop for about half the price of what IV has them for (good quality). I haven't really done online research since I already get such a good deal on them so I can only base it on what I pay for them. Sorry, I don't have much input on those 2.

Besednice is what I would prefer if I had the money to afford big pieces, those famous "Hedgehogs" are amazing (moldavite from that locality is the most expensive and the big pieces are very hard to come by and most are in private collections). I currently own pieces from besednice, chlum, nesmen, vrabce, jankov, krasejovka and nova hospoda. Most are in the 20-30 gram range with my 3 biggest being 37, 40 and 43 grams

Thanks for your reply Selbor. Sounds like a very nice collection of Moldavite.

Ditto.

I have had two, one I set into a Silver earring (because it; well, it made my ear ring, ha) and one I put in a jade silk pouch at my throat.

I really loved them both; but I have no idea of the locality.

The ear-ring piece was smooth and polished, while the other was quite pitted and brain-like.

I always felt much better when wearing them.

Hahaha ring!

About 2-3 weeks ago I decided to make a necklace out Tanzanite and Seraphinite chips, wire wrap a 32g Moldavite and add it to the necklace... That's my new high vibration baby
