Pseudo Tektite pendant

Thanks to the delicate eyelet, it almost looks as if you are wearing just a stone on a necklace.

We pick our stones ourselves at gemstone fairs. Among thousands of stones, we choose the ones that stand out: in shape, in quality, in an unexpected detail. In our atelier in Breda we drill a small, subtle hole and set the eyelet by hand. Nothing else is needed. The stone itself is the jewel.

This stone is shrouded in so much mystery, so much so that we don't even know what to call it. For now, we consider it a form of pseudo-tektite. It was found at a secret location in the Carpathian Mountains in Slovakia. The stone has unique grooves that have never been seen before.

Meaning

This type of tektite is also called Carpathian Cintamani, and while it's not an official mineralogical name, it's a spiritually inspired designation for rare pseudo-tektites from the Carpathian Mountains in Slovakia. These stones consist of ancient, naturally eroded obsidian (a volcanic glass) that, in its appearance, is compared to tektites like moldavite.

What makes this stone unique is its deep black to dark grayish-blue color, which can reveal a mysterious bluish glow in the right light. The surface is dull and irregular, formed by centuries of exposure to wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations. No two pieces are alike.

The name "Cintamani" refers to a legendary wish-fulfilling stone from Buddhist and Hindu traditions, a symbol of spiritual awakening and deep inner strength. Although this stone is not a true Cintamani, some experience it as possessing a similar energy: intuitive, healing, and consciousness-expanding.

The exact location of the stone in the Carpathians is not shared and remains deliberately secret to this day. This, combined with its rarity, contributes to the mystery surrounding this stone. It is precisely this unfamiliarity that attracts many people: the energy feels powerful, ancient, and like a bridge between earth and the cosmos.

Mónos belongs to Clara and Dion. It started in 2021, when Dion was looking for a pendant like this himself and couldn't find one anywhere: a free-form stone, of beautiful quality, with a finish that didn't get in the way of the stone. So he started making them himself. Since 2024 we do it together.

The name Mónos comes from the Greek mono, one. Because of every stone, in this exact shape and colour, there is only one.
