Moldavite Specimens (Meteorite Glass / Impact Glass)

Lovely Moldavite specimens, a heavily included type of 'glass' caused by the impact of meteorites on soil, mud, etc. Moldavite pieces are green, and are found in the Czech Republic.

As I'm sure you know, Moldavite is becoming more and more expensive and unfortunately I'm not immune to the price increases; the current market value is anywhere from £20-50/gram for genuine material. With the lack of mining in the area and the huge amount of fakes appearing on the market I'm afraid the price will likely only increase as the material becomes more scarce.

We sell these pieces by weight - the same way we buy them. The piece pictured is the exact piece you will receive. They are weighed in both grams and in carats.

Our current stock includes:

• #1 - 12.6x10.4x4.7MM / 0.52g

The soil or other material is catapulted into the atmosphere, and upon falling, gains a 'glassy' outer surface with bubbles and other signs of intense heat.
There are other types of Tektite - the more common 'black Tektite' and the yellow coloured Libyan Desert Glass.
