M602 -
Moldavite is a natural
glass created some 14.8 to 15 million years ago when a very
large meteorite struck the earth in what is now the Czech
Republic. Moldavite is classified in the tektite family with
a hardness of about 6-7 and is the only known tektite with
a clarity which permits it to be cut into faceted gem stones.
The beautiful green translucent color was produced by the
presence of iron in combination with aluminum.
Moldavite is a very rare
mineral found only in several small sites in the Bohemia and
Moravia regions of Czechoslovakia and is named after the Moldau
River, the site where it was first discovered.
It has been called the
rarest mineral in the world, rarer than diamonds.
