AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An exceptional, 100% authentic Moldavite tektite from the historic and highly sought-after locality of Marškovo Pole (Czech Republic).

This specimen features a spectacular and classic "pizza slice" (partial droplet/splash form) morphology. It boasts deep, beautifully defined radial flow lines on the front side and a finely pitted, detailed texture on the reverse, showing the aerodynamic ablation of the liquid glass flying through the atmosphere 15 million years ago.

The piece is remarkably chunky and robust, measuring a substantial 1 cm in thickness at its widest base, weighting 4.17 grams. When held against the light, it reveals a gorgeous, translucent olive-green color with textbook conchoidal fracturing on the rim.

Type: Authentic Moldavite (Impact Glass / Tektite)

Locality: Marškovo Pole, South Bohemia, Czech Republic

Weight: 4.17 grams

Dimensions: 2.6 cm x 2.0 cm x 2.0 cm

Thickness: Up to 1.0 cm at the thickest part

Condition: Excellent collector condition, very well-preserved natural edges.
