I am not thinking that Massachusetts will have much of a selection, as Molodavite in itself is a very rare item to find. Since it is considered a tektite, it''s rare as it is thought to have been created by a meteorite, and not volcanic. This means there are not a lot of sources. That I know of, the only pieces are coming out of mines in Eastern Europe and within 8 years mining will be exhausted for gem grade.

Not sure what you were looking for specifically, but you may have bettr luck on the internet through speciality mineral and gem sellers. It''s a tough find, but you may be able to get some nices specimens and then custom make the jewlery. Finding it already IN jewlery will prove a bit harder I think...

Good luck! And once you get something, please post it. To my knowledge this would be the first Molodavite jewlery on the site!
