About Moldavite - A Rare Tektite
Moldavite is a tektite, a projectile glass formed as terrestrial silicates were super-heated, thrown into the air, and rapidly cooled after a meteorite impact. Moldavites themselves may be as old as 15 million years. Moldavite glass often appears as a translucent forest green, though it can occur in lighter shades of olive green and, occasionally, yellow-green. True moldavite is exceptionally rare, occurring only across central Europe, primarily the Czech Republic and Germany. The Ries and Steinheim Impact Craters (the results of a binary asteroid) are thought to be the birthplace of moldavite, as the location and age of the glass match that of the craters. Because of its rarity, moldavite is often replicated, so finding real, authentic moldavite is difficult.
