Specimens of this size and quality from the Marouškovo Pole locality have become increasingly difficult to acquire, making this a highly desirable piece for serious collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eAdding to its rarity, this is a genuine Angel Chime Moldavite. When gently tapped against another hard surface, it produces a clear, bell-like ringing tone caused by natural internal stresses within the tektite. It is estimated that fewer than 1% of all Moldavites possess this remarkable characteristic, making Angel Chimes amongst the rarest and most sought-after varieties available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe specimen displays beautifully preserved natural sculpturing and the distinctive surface texture for which Marouskovo Pole material is admired. It also features a chip measuring approximately 1 cm on one corner. While noticeable, this has been reflected in the price and does little to detract from the rarity, impressive size and exceptional collectability of this outstanding specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wonderful opportunity to acquire a large, authentic Angel Chime Moldavite that combines substantial size, beautiful natural character and one of the rarest acoustic properties found in any tektite. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMoldavite Weight: 14.94g\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLocality: Marouskovo Pole \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"559\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEach piece comes with a certificate of authenticity tied to a money-back guarantee.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eWhat is Moldavite \u0026amp; where is it from?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMoldavite is a rare tektite or meteoric glass, caused by an asteroid impact 15 million years ago.
