Deep grooves radiate and branch across its face, creating an almost feathered pattern of ridges, folds and raised edges. Darker green areas contrast beautifully with the more translucent outer sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe intricate sculpting extends right to its jagged perimeter, giving this substantial natural specimen an impressive combination of texture, depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"margin:20px 0 28px;padding-left:24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003ch4 style=\"display:inline;margin:0;\"\u003eMoldavite Weight: 14.33g\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:0;\"\u003e\u003ch4 style=\"display:inline;margin:0;\"\u003eLocality: Nesmen Les\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background-color:#f0f0f0;border:none;padding:18px 20px;margin:24px 0 48px;\"\u003e\u003ch4 style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.65;\"\u003eEach piece comes with a certificate of authenticity tied to a money-back guarantee.\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNesmen Les\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNesmen Les is a lesser-known and highly sought-after Moldavite locality in South Bohemia, Czech Republic. \u003cem\u003eLes\u003c\/em\u003e means \u003cem\u003eforest\u003c\/em\u003e in Czech, a fitting name for this fascinating locality, which is prized by collectors for its beautifully sculpted specimens, intricate surface etchings and distinctive natural textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith relatively few specimens reaching the market, Nesmen Les Moldavite is particularly appealing to locality collectors. Its remarkable surface detail invites comparisons with celebrated localities such as Besednice Ježkovna and Maly Chlum, making it an exciting addition to any serious Moldavite collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is Moldavite \u0026amp; where is it from?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoldavite is a rare tektite or meteoric glass, caused by an asteroid impact 15 million 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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 found up to 6 metres underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMoldavite NZ\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoldavite NZ is a small family business and collectors hub based in New Zealand.
