MOLDAVITE Moldavite is a green translucent
silica meteoric glass created by a large cosmic velocity meteorite
which vaporized when it struck the earth in Nordlingen, Germany, creating
the Reis Crater, approximately 14.8 million years ago. A small
percentage of that vapor was propelled into the ionosphere by the
impact explosion through the hole punched in the earth's dense atmosphere.
When this silica vapor reached the cold of outer space, it condensed
then solidified and fell back to earth creating a strewn field of
lime green tektite, several hundred miles away in the Moldau River
Valley north of Prague, Czechoslovakia. Thus the name Moldavite.
There are several location names for different areas of the valley
where Moldavite is dug from the ground. The finest specimens
are the Besed Nice, valued for their color, texture, and beauty. Moldavite
is one of the rarest varieties of tektite.
