Every ridge, groove, and intricately etched fold was naturally formed over millions of years, resulting in a surface alive with character and unmistakable authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"1034\"\u003eUnlike many larger specimens that lose refinement as size increases, this piece retains remarkable precision and balance throughout. The proportions are superb, with a naturally elegant form measuring 43 x 20 x 13 mm, giving the stone excellent visual presence from every angle. Its translucence further accentuates the deeply detailed texture, especially under natural light where the rich green tones reveal hidden depth within the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1336\"\u003eMost remarkably, the specimen remains in mint condition with no damage — an increasingly uncommon feature for a Moldavite of this calibre and size. Pieces combining substantial weight, aesthetic symmetry, pristine preservation, and such refined texture are becoming exceptionally difficult to source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1338\" data-end=\"1433\"\u003eAn elite collector’s specimen with undeniable presence — powerful, ancient, and utterly unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1529\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1446\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.6 grams\u003cbr data-start=\"1457\" data-end=\"1460\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1475\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43 x 20 x 13 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1494\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1507\"\u003eLocality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chlum, Czech Republic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1614\"\u003eEach piece comes with a certificate of authenticity tied to a money back guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"2129\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1657\"\u003eWhat is Moldavite \u0026amp; where is it from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1660\"\u003eMoldavite 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.\u003cbr data-start=\"1906\" data-end=\"1909\"\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2131\" data-end=\"2574\"\u003eIt 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.\u003cbr data-start=\"2365\" data-end=\"2368\"\u003e99% 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2576\" data-end=\"2947\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2576\" data-end=\"2592\"\u003eMoldavite NZ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2592\" data-end=\"2595\"\u003eMoldavite NZ is a small family business and collectors hub based in New Zealand.
