The photographed surface shows flowing, ribbon-like channels and deep furrows, with brighter translucent green areas contrasting against darker olive recesses. The irregular crown and layered contours give it an almost sculptural, windswept appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 8.26g piece is particularly notable for the sweeping direction of its folds and the contrast between its upright crest and broader lower section. It has the appearance of movement captured in glass, with uneven relief that changes noticeably as the viewing angle changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaly Chlum Kraj identifies a particular collecting area associated with Maly Chlum, and is worth retaining precisely on a specimen's certificate rather than simplifying it to Maly Chlum. Collectors interested in locality-specific Moldavite value this level of provenance, especially when comparing different forms and styles of natural surface sculpting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMoldavite Weight: 8.26g\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ch4\u003eLocality: Maly Chlum Kraj\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable width=\"559\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEach piece comes with a certificate of authenticity tied to a money-back guarantee.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \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.
