Moldavite Infomation

Moldavite is a beautiful transparent green stone of extraterrestrial origin, ranging from light to deep in shade. It is an amorphous crystal of hard natural glass with a wrinkled or pitted surface, a silica based mineral with a number of metallic oxides - the iron and aluminium content giving it its green colouring. Moldavite is a rare form of tektite, the only tektite of gem quality that is cut and faceted into gemstones. This cosmic arrival was deposited on Earth by a meteor that crashed into the planet 14.8 million years ago, scattering its green gems over a 6,000 square kilometer strewn field near the Moldau River, in Bohemia and Western Moravia in Czechoslovakia. Surface find is much depleted, making it one of the rarest gemstones on the planet.

Archeological discoveries show moldavite to have been used as a tool and a talisman from early Paleolithic times and in historical times as a good luck charm, to adorn sacred vessels and in precious jewellery. Associated with many myths and legends, it has been linked with The Holy Grail, The Philosophers Stone, The Stone of Shamballa, and the green stone of the alchemists, and it appears in stories of the prophets, Jesus and Buddha. The Czech nation has made fabulous gifts of moldavite to Queen Elizabeth II and Pope John Paul.
