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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1690\"\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1692\" data-end=\"2063\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1692\" data-end=\"1708\"\u003eMoldavite NZ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1708\" data-end=\"1711\"\u003eMoldavite NZ is a small family business and collectors hub based in New Zealand.
