Moldavite - Czech Republic

$10.00

Moldavite is a forest green, olive green or blue greenish vitreous silica projectile rock formed by a meteorite impact that occurred about 15 million years ago. It is a type of tektite. All of my Moldavite specimens are bought directly from the mine owners and are not poached pieces from claim jumpers that often leave the land scared.

Size: 0.61 inches long

Weight: 1.5 grams

Tektites are most likely derived by large hypervelocity meteorite collisions with the crust of the earth. They are often rounded, pitted bodies of silicate glass. While commonly about the size of a walnut, tektites can vary from the size of a sand grain up to large, blocky, Muong Nong-type specimens weighing up to (28 pounds). Tektites can differ in both color and age, depending on where they are found. Commonly black color, tektites can also vary from light green to greenish yellow.
