Description

While a beautiful gem, Moldavite, found only in Czechoslovakia is a rare gemstone and is named after the area in which it is found near the Moldau River. While scientists do have differing theories in Moldavite’s origin, nearly all of them do agree the formation of Moldavite coincides with the crash of a large meteorite nearly 15 million years ago. The debris field created by the impact of the meteorite is located in two areas, Moravia and Bohemia. Moldavite, unlike other natural glasses that have occurred from other planetary or meteoric collisions that are a brownish or tar black, has a deep forest green color to it and is the only gemstone formed this way that is suitable for cutting and faceting as a gem.
