Raw Moldavite from the Czech Republic – a piece of cosmic history

A raw Moldavite is no ordinary stone – it is a natural glass that was formed roughly 15 million years ago by the impact of a meteorite on Earth. This unique tektite glass is found almost exclusively in the Czech Republic, predominantly in the region of South Bohemia and Moravia, and is one of the rarest and most sought-after minerals in the world. This particular piece weighs 1.62 g and shows the typical, unmistakable green color as well as the characteristic, naturally shaped surface of a genuine raw stone.

Origin and properties of raw Moldavite

Moldavite owes its name to the Moldau (Vltava) river and is considered an absolute highlight of any collection among collectors and stone lovers. As a natural silicate glass, it is not formed through geological processes like other minerals, but through the extreme melting and ejection process of a meteorite impact. The raw, unworked form preserves the original surface with all its natural textures – a true wonder of nature that cannot be reproduced in this form.

Care and storage of your raw Moldavite

1. Do not store Moldavite together with hard minerals – it can be damaged by scratches.
2. Brief rinsing with lukewarm water is possible; avoid aggressive cleaning agents.
3. Prolonged direct sunlight can affect the color – storage protected from light is recommended.
4. According to tradition, moonlight or smudging with sage are suitable for energetic cleansing.
