Moldavite from Czech Republic 3.41g

Moldavite from Czech Republic – genuine tektite of cosmic origin

This Moldavite from the Czech Republic, weighing 3.41 g, is a genuine tektite – a natural glass of cosmic origin that formed about 15 million years ago from the impact of a meteorite in what is now Bavaria. The energy released fused terrestrial rock with extraterrestrial material and hurled the molten glass into what is now Bohemia, where it solidified and became the world's most sought-after tektite variety. No other stone in the world combines cosmic origin, mineralogical rarity, and spiritual depth in such a unique way.

What makes this tektite so special?

Moldavite belongs to the group of tektites – rock glasses formed by extraterrestrial influences. But Moldavite is more than a scientific curiosity: its characteristic bottle-green color, the fine sculpting on its surface, and its exclusive origin from the Czech Republic make it a coveted collector's piece and energetic companion at the same time. The hand-picked piece from our range at Crystal Paradise carries the unmistakable texture of a genuine natural one-of-a-kind – no two pieces are alike.
