History

Besednice Moldavite are the most prized & sought after of allMoldavite. Known as "Hedgehogs" for their spikes, these beautifulgreen, rich & dark textured tektites were found in & around theBesednice townsite & nearby fields. Many small pieces seen today were likelyfound in upper layers of the fields, have some erosion and dings, and many weredamaged when extracted. A very notable physical characteristic of Besednicecrystals is that their density is slightly less than that of other moldavites,even those found within a few kilometers away. This produces a much largersurface area, unique frequency and distinctive appearance.

Known as the Emerald that fell from the universe, Moldavite is a tektite(Meteorite) with a hardness ranging from 5.6 - 7 on the Mohs scale. Theasteroid hit the earth 15 million years ago in what is now known as the RiesCrater in Barvaria (Germany). The material from the impact was sent flying intothe atmosphere, cooled down & formed the melted glass into what is nowcalled Moldavite. The splash field or primarily landing of the melted crystalsreturning to earth is in the areas of South Bohemia (Czech Republic). Moldaviteis not found in any other region on the earth. Moldavite has been used since Stone Age times as a talisman and amulet for goodfortune. Many people believe that it came to aid in earth’s transition andhealing and that the time has come to use Moldavite’s energies wisely. It cangreatly enhance the effect of other crystals, taking them to their highestvibration. The green glass cup known as the Holy Grail at the last supper isbelieved by some to have been moldavite.
