About the Item

This rare and beautifully sculpted 4.50 gram Moldavite specimen showcases the natural, aerodynamic form and vibrant olive-green hue characteristic of the finest Czech impact glass. Moldavite is a unique type of tektite, a natural glass formed by the intense heat and pressure of a meteorite impact. Approximately 14.8 million years ago, a massive meteoroid struck what is now Bavaria, forming the Nördlinger Ries crater. The force of the impact launched molten terrestrial material into the atmosphere, where it cooled during reentry and rained down as glass: forming what we now know as Moldavite. This specimen was recovered in the Czech Republic. Highly collectible for both its extraterrestrial origin and natural beauty, Moldavite is prized by meteorite collectors, crystal enthusiasts, and metaphysical users alike. This is a top-quality specimen with excellent surface texture, saturation, and a sculptural, flight-formed profile. Weight: 4.50 g

Large Chondrite Meteorite with Regmaglypts
Located in London, GB
NWA 12759 Stone, Chondrite - L5 18.3 KG “This specimen of the NWA 12759 L5 chondrite has a smooth posterior fusion crust where meteoritic melt pooled as the rock descended through the atmosphere and was heated by friction with molecules of air. The meteorite is from the L-chondrite asteroid that was destroyed by an energetic collision 470 million years ago.” Dr Alan E. Rubin, PhD Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences, UCLA Detached from its parent body by a mighty impact, this large, oriented meteorite travelled over a hundred million miles through space before falling to Earth in the North African desert. Beautiful regmaglypts radiate from the apex of its cone shaped nose. These elongated dimples formed when streaks of superheated molten rock streamed off the meteor’s surface as it blazed through the atmosphere. The entire piece is coated in a glossy, umber-coloured fusion crust and close examination reveals remnants of encrusted, orange dirt. Whilst most meteors tumble as they travel through the Earth’s atmosphere, oriented meteorites...
