Natural Moldavite | 5.7g | Chlum

A beautiful 5.7g drop-shaped Natural Moldavite specimen from Chlum, preserved in perfect, undamaged condition. Its elegant, aerodynamic form is particularly fascinating, as the teardrop is one of the primary shapes associated with Moldavite's extraordinary formation.

This distinctive shape offers a remarkable glimpse into the moment of Moldavite's creation, approximately 14.8 million years ago, when molten material was propelled high into the atmosphere by the immense force of a meteorite impact. As the liquid glass travelled through the air, aerodynamic forces helped shape it into a streamlined droplet before it cooled and solidified.

A wonderful example of Moldavite's original flight form, beautifully preserved millions of years after its dramatic creation. An exceptional specimen for collectors who appreciate both the natural beauty and fascinating origins of Moldavite.

What is Moldavite & where is it from?

Moldavite is a rare natural tektite formed approximately 14.8 million years ago following a meteorite impact in southern Germany. The immense heat and pressure of the impact ejected molten material into the atmosphere, which cooled and solidified before falling back to Earth, primarily in what is now the Czech Republic.

Each Moldavite specimen is unique, with its colour, shape and intricate surface textures reflecting millions of years of natural geological processes.
