Moldavite Q&A

What is Moldavite

Moldavite is a type of Tectite – a gemstone formed by the collision of a meteorite on the Earth’s surface and the subsequent melting of surrounding rocks.  It is a green colored gemstone that is prized all over the world for its beauty and it’s energy. All moldavite was created from a large meteor that hit central Europe 14.7 million years ago, an impact that created the Ries crater in Southern Germany.  Today, moldavite is mainly found about 500km away from the crater in the southern Bohemia region of the Czech Republic. 

 

How to identify genuine Moldavite

2. Genuine moldavite is non-flourescent, while many fakes are fluorescent.

4. Natural moldavite has lechatelierite needles that you can often spot, especially in the faceted pieces.
