3.18g Moldavite

An unusually shaped Marouskovo Pole Moldavite weighing 3.18 grams, distinguished by its elongated, tubular form and an impressive open bubble cavity at one end. Features such as this are highly prized among experienced collectors, offering a rare glimpse into the violent conditions under which Moldavite was formed.

During its creation, molten material was hurled through the atmosphere at tremendous speed, occasionally trapping gases that later produced cavities, tunnels and other unusual structures. The result is a specimen rich in geological intrigue and impossible to replicate.

Displaying attractive natural etching and an uncommon morphology, this is far more than a typical Moldavite specimen. It is a conversation piece and a fascinating relic of one of Earth's most extraordinary impact events.

A distinctive collector's specimen from the renowned Marouskovo Pole locality, offering rarity, character and undeniable visual interest.

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.
