$318.00
This listing is for the beautiful piece of Moldavite from Maly Chlum, Czech Republic shown in the photographs. This is 100% natural Moldavite displays gorgeous color and excellent, top-quality texture. This piece is great size for a hefty pendant or palm stone.
Moldavite is a natural glass known as a tektite, formed from the heat and pressures of a meteorite impact. The event that formed Moldavite occurred approximately 15 million years ago when an asteroid broke apart while falling to earth. This resulted in the formation of two craters- the Ries and Steinheim craters in southeastern Germany. The heat and pressure from this impact melts the surrounding earthen material and splashes it into the outer limits of the atmosphere. The resulting strewn field of this green celestial glass includes portions of what is now the Czech Republic. Moldavite is unique among tektites and renowned for its beautiful green color. This color spectrum is due to different levels of impurities of Chromium (among other trace metals) which fused with the glass from the pressure of the impacting body.
This particular piece would make a great addition to any collection or perfect pendant stone. There is a photo next to a centimeter cube for size reference, and I have also listed approximate dimensions below. We tried to capture any unique features or damage when present in the photographs; however, if you have any questions about this (or any of our listings) please don't hesitate to ask.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is shipping guaranteed to track?
Standard shipping is the most economical method- First Class Mail through the U.S. Postal Service. This does not come with guaranteed tracking to the destination. The package usually scans and updates within the U.S. however, international tracking is not available. It is the buyers responsibility to understand all shipping/customs policies in their country.
We offer many shipping upgrades which include tracking and insurance upon request. Please contact us to customize shipping options (such as signature confirmation and added insurance) or select 'Tracking and Insurance' as an upgrade to Priority mail.
Please note, that some destinations do not offer Priority Mail tracking.
**We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or delayed mail
Are there estimated shipping times for First Class Package?
I ship through USPS First Class Mail in order to offer low cost shipping. Unfortunately, this service is highly variable on shipping times, and is inconsistent in tracking international. Typically packages can arrive anywhere from 10-30 business days or longer. Although First Class is my default shipping method I highly recommend upgraded shipping for express shipping times, guaranteed tracking, and insurance. Please contact us with any questions you may have or to request the use of Fed Ex or UPS services.
