Doug,

    Moldavite is a natural material, happening to be glass; that is, the
    Czech Moldavite. The Libyan Desert Glass is also natural material,
    happening to be glass, from the Great Sand Sea in Egypt. Both are
    considered tektites, eventhough there is mystery surrounding the
    origin of Libyan Desert Glass. 

    Obsidian is a natural material, happening to be glass; originated
    from volcanic action. 

    I think they're all pretty fabulous in their own right. Get a hold
    of a few pieces of each and let personal experience be your guide to
    purchasing a good amount. An honest vendor will help in the quest. 

    Eventhough it's glass, I'd love to have been the one that discovered
    the fact that Tut had jewelry made with the desert glass. Bet it's
    pretty pricey, now! 

It's all relative.

Kay Taylor
