Moldavite from Czechia 2.28g

Czech Moldavite – A Natural Wonder from the Bohemian Basin

Czech Moldavite is a natural glass of cosmic origin that formed around 15 million years ago from a meteorite impact in what is now Bavaria. The energy released during the impact hurled molten rock over hundreds of kilometers, creating unique, deep green glass bodies that today are found exclusively in the Czech Republic, mainly in South Bohemia and Moravia.

Care and Storage

Although moldavite is a glass and therefore generally appears stable, it should be handled with care. The natural, finely structured surface is prone to scratches and mechanical stress. For optimal care, we recommend the following tips:

• Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth – no aggressive cleaning agents
• Do not store together with harder minerals
• Store away from light to prevent color changes
• Energetic cleansing according to tradition, e.g. under running water or in moonlight

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Czech moldavite and how did it form?

Czech moldavite is a natural tektite glass that formed about 15 million years ago from a meteorite impact in the Nördlinger Ries (Bavaria). The extreme heat of the impact melted the surrounding rock, which then fell as glassy fragments over Bohemia and Moravia. Genuine moldavites come exclusively from the Czech Republic.

How can I recognize a genuine moldavite?

Genuine moldavite is characterized by its typical green color, an irregularly sculpted surface with natural indentations, and a glassy, transparent to translucent structure. Fake pieces often appear too uniform or too smooth. At Crystal Paradise, every stone is hand-selected and checked for authenticity – you receive only verified natural one-of-a-kind pieces.

Who is a moldavite suitable for as a gift?

Moldavite is an ideal gift for people interested in minerals, spirituality, and personal development. Thanks to its cosmic origin story and rare beauty, it delights experienced collectors and beginners alike who are looking for a special, meaningful natural piece.

How heavy is this moldavite and is it suitable for jewelry?

This piece weighs 2.28g, making it a compact, handy natural specimen. With an appropriate setting, it can be made into a pendant – however, we recommend a gentle, closed setting, since moldavite, being a glass, is more delicate than crystalline minerals.
