AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Moldavite is a natural glass that formed after the impact of a meteorite about 15 million years ago. This meteorite struck in the present-day Bavarian–Baden-Württemberg region of the Nördlinger Ries and distributed the material formed there predominantly across the territory of the Czech Republic. Moldavite was therefore also named after the Moldau River, which is its most important site of discovery.
