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.
Frequently asked questions and delivery information
How do we grade stones?
There is no overall universal grading system for the majority of our products. As such, the grades we use are internal only. They simply refer to higher and lower qualities, but they may be entirely different grades to other websites. C grade pieces are of lower quality than B grade, which is lower than A grade.
How does our ordering and delivery process work?
You place an order via the website. When it’s been picked and packed, your order will be marked as completed and dropped off at our local post office. We have an account with the post office called a “Drop and Go” account, which allows the post office staff to process our parcels when they have free time, rather than me queuing up and delaying everyone else.
I get tracking information etc online when this has been completed. I typically do not send tracking information to customers unless they request it – but if you’ve requested tracked postage, it has been sent tracked! If you have any worries or concerns about your parcel being delayed please feel free to get in touch and I’ll send the tracking info over! We also get delivery confirmations for parcels over 25MM thick by default.
How do international orders work?
After Brexit, with the UK leaving the European Union, certain things have changed with regards to international orders. European Union customers will now likely be liable to pay the same amount of import VAT as any other international customers. You will be responsible for any customs and import fees.
I’d like to return my order for a refund.
No problem at all – just get in touch and we’ll arrange it. You can read our full returns policy here.
What payment methods do you accept?
I can accept Paypal, Stripe, cheque, and direct bank transfers. Paypal and Stripe will both allow you to pay with credit and debit cards.
You can get in touch via our contact page with any questions. 🙂
