Discover our collection of genuine Moldavite, a rare natural tektite formed during a meteorite impact approximately 14.8 million years ago. Recognised for its distinctive green colour and extraordinary origin, Moldavite is one of the world's most sought-after natural impact glasses.

Moldavite formed when the meteorite impact that created the Nördlinger Ries impact structure in present-day Germany ejected molten terrestrial material high into the atmosphere. As this material cooled rapidly, it solidified into natural glass before falling across what is now the recognised Moldavite strewn field within the Bohemian and Moravian regions of the Czech Republic.

Unlike most tektites, authentic Moldavite is found almost exclusively within this single recognised strewn field, contributing to its rarity and worldwide collector appeal. Its distinctive appearance, limited geographical distribution and scientific significance have made it one of the most recognisable tektites in the world.

Our collection showcases authenticated Moldavite selected for its authenticity, scientific significance and natural beauty.
