2.45g Hedgehog Moldavite

The "hedgehog" is the rarest of kind of Moldavite, prized for its delicate, deeply pronounced spikes, and this 2.45g specimen is a prime example. At first glance, even a seasoned Moldavite expert would likely identify it as a classic Besednice hedgehog, yet its true origin lies in Maly Chlum, making it an even more intriguing and exceptional find. In addition, this specimen features a rare lechatelierite inclusion—a crystalline growth occasionally found on Moldavite, further enhancing its uniqueness and appeal."

Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity tied to a money back guarantee.

What is Moldavite & where is it from?

Moldavite is a rare tektite or meteoric glass, caused by an asteroid impact 15mil. years ago. The intense, 10,000°c+ temperatures of the strike vapourised the asteroid, target rock and sand, flinging the molten substance high into the atmosphere.
From the impact zone in Germany some 300km away, It landed back to earth in what is now the Czech Republic and as it flew, it cooled and solidified into translucent green, glass-like droplets of various shapes and sizes.

It is said that only 1% of what had originally fallen is still intact to this day and the estimates of the total amount of Moldavite remaining is under 300 tonnes. In comparison with gold or diamonds, this makes Moldavite 1000x rarer.
99% of all Moldavite is found in a small area in the Southern part of the Czech Republic. It can be found on the surface but the highly prized, well preserved specimens are to be found up to 6m underground.
