This is a 9.92gr/49.60ct Besednice Moldavite. This is collector's piece. The height is two inches and the width in the middle is one inch. There is a slight natural bow from back to front produced by the journey down after the bounce. Both surfaces have deep, weathered valleys with excellent display of the famous hedgehogs.
Location: Besednice Jezkovna
Comes with nice packaging and free gifts
Besednice Moldavite are the most prized & sought after of all Moldavite. Known as "Hedgehogs" for their spikes, these beautiful green, rich & dark textured tektites were found in & around the Besednice townsite & nearby fields. This location's sandy soil enabled the passing water over millions of years to deeply sculpt the Moldavite within it. The Besednice mine has been closed and guarded since 2009. A very notable physical characteristic of Besednice crystals is that their density is slightly less than that of other moldavites, even those found within a few kilometers away. Testing of Besednice crystals shows a higher Si02 content accounting for the lighter density. This produces a much larger surface area, unique frequency and distinctive appearance.
Known as the Emerald that fell from the universe, Moldavite is a tektite (Meteorite) with a hardness ranging from 5.5 - 6.5 on the Mohs scale. The asteroid hit the earth during the Middle to Upper Miocene age in what is now known as the Ries Crater in Barvaria (Germany). For geological reference the miocene age ( ~ 16 - 11.5 million years ago ) is the time period that South America drifted west to near its present position, stretching the Andes mountains formation, and many of the continents shifted to current bounded landscapes. The material from the impact was sent flying into the atmosphere, cooled down & formed the melted glass into what is now called Moldavite. The splash field or primarily landing of the melted crystals returning to earth is in the areas of South Bohemia (Czech Republic). Moldavite is not found in any other region of the earth.
