Moldavite perfection personified in this diminutive yet exceptional specimen from Maly Chlum, weighing 1.35 grams. Despite its small size, it displays a remarkably complex, sharply etched texture across all sides and edges—features typically seen in far larger, higher-value pieces.
The stone shows a bright, clean green colour with excellent translucence, allowing light to pass freely through the body of the specimen. Of particular note is the presence of visible lechatelierite—wispy, thread-like silica inclusions formed when quartz sand was flash-melted during the asteroid impact. These inclusions are a direct geological fingerprint of genuine Moldavite formation and are highly sought after by collectors.
If you’re seeking a true prize specimen but aren’t ready to invest thousands into a larger piece, this offers a rare opportunity to own an example of top-tier Moldavite quality—proof that perfection is not defined by size alone.
