Moldavite, a natural bottle-green glass, originated from a high-pressure modification of quartz, which was caused by the impact of a meteorite in Bavaria 15 million years ago.

Upon hitting the earth the meteorite, which had a diameter of 1500 m, had reached a speed of 70’000 km/h, through which the discovery site, also known as grit-fields, is spread over a radius of 400 km.

Moldavite is named after one of the most
significant locations where it is found – near the Moldava River in the territory of today’s Czech Republic.
