Moldavite Specimen 8.52g

Moldavite may sound like the stuff that grows on old bread, but it is actually a molten vitreous rock caused by a meteoric impact 15 million years ago. Its olive green color distinguishes it as one of the rarest varieties of Tektites, found only in the Moldau River Valley of the Czech Republic. The curious pitting and unique wrinkles on each piece are a result of earth materials being molten upon impact and flung into the atmosphere.

Moldavite is extremely rare and makes the perfect unique and hard to find gift!

Grams: 8.52 (approx. 42mm x 24mm x 13mm)

Mineralogy: Formed by meteorite impact debris quickly melting then quickly cooling as the debris was expelled from the impact zone. Moldavite is composed of silicon (79-88%), aluminum (13%), and trace minerals, in which the percentage of silicon and aluminum distinguishes against fakes. Genuine Moldavite is increasingly rare, with estimated world totals at 280 tons, and now only mined in the Czech Republic.

Metaphysical Properties: Popular with metaphysicians as a celestial stone of transformation and communication, it is reputed to raise the vibration of the wearer.
