Very rare to find a princess cut Moldavite, let alone a pair ! This is an extraordinary gemstone, and no comprehensive collection could be regarded as complete without a Moldavite.
TEKTITE MOLDAVITE
Tektite is the general term used to refer to natural glass rocks formed by the impact of large meteorites on the earth's surface. They are found in just four locations around the world, known as ‘strewnfields’.
Material from a large meteorite impact may be strewn several hundred kilometers from the impact crater. The four known ‘strewnfields’ are centered in Germany, Australia, Chesapeake Bay, Maryland in the USA, and Ghana. Moldavite has been found only in the Czech Republic, part of the German strewnfield.
Moldavite gets its name from the town of Moldauthein in the Czech Republic where it was first found. There are currently four Moldavite mines operating in the Czech Republic, but it is estimated that the supply of gem-grade material will be exhausted in about ten years time.
