Presenting a premium example of the world's most sought-after, rarest and most beautiful Moldavite variety — the Besednice Ježkovna (Hedgehog).
Weighing 8.24 grams, this exceptional specimen displays the deep, sculpted etching and remarkable clarity that made the now-extinct Besednice deposits legendary amongst collectors. The Besednice fields were exhausted and closed in 2010, meaning virtually all specimens appearing on the market today originate from older collections.
What makes this piece particularly special is its outstanding condition. Perfectly preserved and completely free from chips or damage, it stands apart from many Ježkovna specimens, which were often affected by commercial mining methods during the final years of extraction.
Upon close inspection, this specimen reveals a small yet prominent lechatelierite protrusion. Lechatelierite is a rare form of natural silica glass created when quartz-rich sands are subjected to the immense temperatures generated during the meteorite impact that formed Moldavite. These inclusions and protrusions are highly prized by collectors as direct evidence of the extraordinary forces involved in Moldavite's creation and are considered an important indicator of authenticity.
This specimen was painstakingly recovered by hand by a veteran Moldavite digger and has remained in a private collection for decades. Its combination of provenance, condition, texture, rarity and lechatelierite content places it firmly amongst the finest collector-grade Moldavites available.
A truly rare opportunity to acquire an investment-grade Besednice Ježkovna of the highest calibre.
