GORGEOUS!♡ GENUINE & AUTHENTIC! Moldavite Tektite Crystal/Specimen!♡

Moldavite is the result of a meteorite collision that occurred 14.5 million years ago in the Czech Republic. It’s found in a 40-square-mile radius around the Moldau River. Real Moldavites originate from South Bohemia, Bohemia & Moravia ONLY! AUTHENTIC Moldavites are a darker shade of green in the center & get lighter toward the edges. The last photo is this authentic piece next to a fake.

*All photos taken in direct sunlight. In some, I shaded the piece so you could see the texture
**Odd inclusions seen in pics 6 & 7!♡

☆3.3g/16.5cts

☆Things to look for in REAL moldavite: Internal bubbles (from the rapid cooling process) irregularities in shape, rough pitted texture, wire-like lechatelierite inclusions, olive green color.

AVOID: Bright, glossy/wet, dark green, zero inclusion, unnatural shape, BIG pieces are usually fake, as Moldavite is typically found in small pieces. The present collected Moldavite is estimated to be only 1%. Most have eroded or buried due to natural soil erosion.
