Description
Moldavite is a dark green projectile tektite. Tektites are formed by a meteorite impact which melts the earth under the impact point.
A meteorite hit the earth probably in southern Germany about 14.7 million years ago. The impact melted the earth underneath the meteorite, plashing it into what is now the Czech Republic near the Moldau River, hence the name – moldavite.

It is beloved for its peculiarity and rarity, which is reflected in the wide variety of sizes, shapes, textures and shades of green. moldavites are often collected in their original rough form, which has many variations.
The total amount of moldavite scattered around the world is estimated at 275 tons. As true genuine moldavite is getting more rare and the price is going up, the counterfeiters are getting better at their craft.
