Natural "Frosty" Moldavite | 22.11g | Brusna

An extraordinary and exceptionally rare 22.11g Frosty Moldavite from Brusna, Czech Republic. This magnificent specimen displays some of the most fascinating natural surface textures found in Moldavite, with an intricate network of deeply etched, wrinkled and delicately sculpted formations that give it an almost otherworldly appearance.

Frosty Moldavites are among the most unusual and visually distinctive varieties of this already remarkable tektite. Their extraordinary surface texture is associated with prolonged exposure to the naturally acidic conditions of the clay-rich soils in which they have rested for millions of years. This chemical weathering gradually alters the glass surface, producing the characteristic frosted appearance and intricate patterns that make these specimens so captivating.

Only two or three known Moldavite localities are particularly recognised for producing these bizarre and uniquely beautiful frosty formations, making them considerably less common than the more familiar glossy or deeply sculpted varieties.

What makes this particular specimen even more exceptional is its remarkable size and naturally self-standing form. At an impressive 22.11 grams, it is an unusually substantial example of a Frosty Moldavite. Its distinctive upright silhouette features a narrower central section between two broader, irregular ends, allowing the stone to stand independently without the need for a display support.

The pale olive-green glass exhibits beautiful translucency when illuminated, revealing an extraordinary contrast between the delicate, densely etched surface and the deeper, smoother areas of natural glass. Viewed from different angles, the intricate textures, subtle colour variations and unusual contours continually reveal new details.

Large Frosty Moldavites are particularly difficult to find, and a specimen of this size, quality and distinctive self-standing character represents a genuinely special opportunity for the serious collector.

Originating from Brusna, one of the lesser-known Moldavite localities in the Czech Republic, this remarkable specimen offers something quite different from the more familiar formations of Chlum, Maly Chlum or Besednice.

A truly exceptional collector's piece, combining rarity, impressive size, extraordinary natural sculpting and a wonderfully unusual upright form. A specimen that deserves to be displayed, admired and examined closely.

What is Moldavite & where is it from?

Moldavite is a rare natural green tektite formed approximately 14.8 million years ago following a massive asteroid impact in what is now southern Germany. The tremendous heat and energy of the impact propelled molten terrestrial material into the atmosphere, where it cooled and solidified before falling across parts of Central Europe.

Over millions of years, geological processes and the surrounding soil conditions have shaped the extraordinary variety of surface textures, colours and formations seen in genuine Czech Moldavite today.
