A truly exceptional example of the unique variety of a Tektite known as Moldavite, this specimen weighs 7.1 grams and boasts a phenomenal shape, with a thin "stem" supporting a dimensional cluster of leafy, dark green "foliage" with intricate form and complex texture. A highly collectible, singular representation of such vitreous glass resulting from a meteorite impact millions of years ago, this delicate offering is rather translucent and visually captivating. Of the Besednice variety, this material is the best known, and this piece is, without doubt, of the highest collectible quality.
Measurements: 2.01 x 0.72 x 0.57 inches (5.10 x 1.83 x 1.46 cm), weighs 7.1 grams
