Not a stone that we offer very often, but there seems to have been some renewed interest in this material recently. Moldavite is a name for a type of tektite silica that was created by an ancient meteorite impact. Like most ‘glass’ it has the characteristic bubbles and flow lines visible throughout - see the transmitted light third photo. The color is distinctive and is a popular choice for those with dual interests in meteorites and gems. A fine old stone cut in Sri Lanka from some rough stored years ago.
