Description: Moldavite Besednice 5.5ct Regular + Grade with Certificate of Authenticity Comes with Certificate of AuthenticityRegular GradeThese moldavites have the characteristics of this locality without the full, spiky texture seen in the highest grade pieces. The surface area is smoother with some chips and dings. Crystal formation is less than A grade pieces. Also, these pieces are slightly thicker than A grade pieces making the surface area smaller. As with all Besednice moldavite pieces, these crystals have spectacular light reflection, noticeable lighter density than other localities, and a broad surface area. Smaller crystals are often used in creating grids while 1 gram and larger crystals are generally suitable for jewelry depending on texture. Known as the Emerald that fell from the universe, Moldavite is a tektite (Meteorite) with a hardness ranging from 5.5 - 6.5 on the Mohs scale. The asteroid hit the earth during the Middle to Upper Miocene age in what is now known as the Ries Crater in Barvaria (Germany). For geological reference the miocene age ( ~ 16 - 11.5 million years ago ) is the time period that South America drifted west to near its present position, the Andes mountains continued formation, and many of the continents shifted to current bounded landscapes. The material from the impact was sent flying into the atmosphere, cooled down & formed the melted glass into what is now called Moldavite. The splash field or primarily landing of the melted crystals returning to earth is in the areas of South Bohemia (Czech Republic). Moldavite is not found in any other region of the earth.
