Description: This exquisite and rare specimen is called Moldavite. It's not a meteorite. This grade AAA individual weighs 4.609 grams, which is a genuine piece of history. It hails from the Nrdlinger Ries Crater and is a translucent Moldavite Tektite. Moldavite is a type of tektite, which is a gemstone material created by meteorite impacts on earth. The force of these meteorite impacts instantly melt surrounding soil and rock, creating molten glass. This molten glass is then flung into the air, where it cools as it falls to the ground. Tektites occur in what are known as strewn fields. Strewn fields are the resting places for material ejected from meteorite craters. Moldavite is currently found anywhere from over 150 to 280 miles away from the Nrdlinger Ries impact crater in Germany. This is a large impact crater that is almost 15 miles across with a depression visible on aerial photos. This specimen comes with a COA card and display case.
