Angel Chime/Hagstone Moldavite | 3.77g | Marouskovo Pole

An exceptional Angel Chime Moldavite from the Marouskovo Pole locality in the Czech Republic weighin 3.77g, made even more unusual by the presence of a completely natural hole passing through the specimen — making this a genuine Moldavite hagstone.

The stone has a beautifully balanced natural shape with excellent surface texture and sculpturing. It is in superb condition, with no visible chips or signs of damage, and the naturally formed hole gives the specimen an especially distinctive character.

Hagstones are stones that contain a naturally occurring hole formed by geological processes rather than drilling or human modification. They have fascinated people for centuries and feature prominently in European folklore, where stones with natural holes have traditionally been carried or kept as protective talismans. Finding this feature in Moldavite is particularly special, as the hole must have survived the stone's long geological history while remaining entirely natural.

This specimen is also an Angel Chime Moldavite. Angel Chimes are given their name because of the distinctive clear, glassy, bell-like ringing sound certain Moldavites can produce when gently tapped or carefully allowed to touch another piece. The sound depends on the individual stone's shape, thickness, structure and natural resonance, and not every Moldavite will produce it.

The combination of both characteristics in a single specimen — an Angel Chime and a naturally formed hagstone — makes this 3.77 gram piece a particularly fascinating and unusual collector's Moldavite.

Formed approximately 15 million years ago following the impact that created the Ries crater in southern Germany, Moldavite is a natural tektite found primarily in the Czech Republic. Material produced by the impact travelled hundreds of kilometres before falling across what is now southern Bohemia and Moravia, where millions of years of geological processes produced the remarkable shapes and surface sculpturing seen in genuine Moldavite today.

This specimen comes from Marouskovo Pole, one of the recognised Moldavite-producing localities of southern Bohemia.
