This piece of impactite known as Moldavite weighs 13 grams and is the result of a Meteorite hitting the Earth. The vitreous green "glass" is rather popular among collectors for its rarity and inherent intriguing forms. This conical example is highly tonal featuring a lot of variance in textures and other constituents.
