Its dramatic hedgehog-style etching, flawless preservation and striking character place it amongst the finest examples of this now-extinct locality. The Besednice deposits were completely exhausted in 2010, ensuring that every genuine specimen available today originates from historic collections, making pieces of this calibre increasingly difficult to obtain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe title \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Angel Chime\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is reserved for a select group of Besednice Moldavites that produce a delicate, high-pitched, bell-like tone when gently tapped together.
