Thank you for visiting from among the many pages. ■ Item: Authenticated Moldavite Raw Stone meteorite108 ■ Condition: New A type of "natural glass" that has fascinated people since ancient times. It is said to have been formed about 15 million years ago by a meteorite that fell in Nördlingen, Bavaria, located in southern Germany. The silicon in the ground, dissolved by the impact and enormous heat of the fall, scattered in a liquid state, and the glass mass that rapidly cooled and solidified in the air rained down around the present-day Czech Republic, about 250 km away. Although collection is now prohibited, it seems that there are areas where fragments of raw moldavite stones can be found if you look closely at the ground. The name is said to have originated from its discovery in the Moldau River basin in the 1700s. Moldavite, a natural glass, has characteristic inclusions, including "irregular and oval air bubbles" formed by air friction during scattering, "unique undulations like water flow called dragon veins," and "dimples," which can only be seen in raw stones. Moldavite was believed to be an emerald that fell from the sky in ancient times and was revered by people as a sacred relic that brought good luck and abundance. It is said that people in the past used moldavite, which is said to have such mysterious power, to embed it in the walls and beams of their houses, and to use it in the wedding rings of their daughters to pray for the happiness of their families and the prosperity of their clans. ※ A copy of the appraisal certificate will be included at the time of sale.
