Moldavite is an extraterrestrial stone that went down from heaven millions of years ago. Moldavite is forged from a meteorite impact to earth. The shape, size and texture of a Moldavite depend on the scale of the impact.
During the early Paleolithic era, Moldavite was used to make helmets and weapons. According to Czechoslovakian myths, this stone invites harmony to the place where it is stored.
This stone is called an alien stone because of its rare glass-like features and its unique forms. The rarity and the great power that comes from this precious gem make it special and sought after.
Nowadays, all Moldavite stones from Czech Republic have been completely mined out. So there are only a few authentic Moldavite stones for sale.
Processing Moldavite Beads
Moldavite stones are known to be amorphous in nature, meaning it has no definite shape and form. Because of this, processing and faceting a raw Moldavite on a polished surface is difficult. It takes time to make shaped cuts out of a raw Moldavite stone.
Even more so when forming it into polished round Moldavite beads. This is because of Moldavite’s corrugated surface and internal structure. Forming perfectly round and polished Moldavite beads takes a lot of effort and patience.
How to Spot a Fake Moldavite
Before you buy Moldavite beads, it is important to distinguish which pieces are authentic and which are not. Authentic Moldavite stone is of dark green color, similar moss color. If it’s not green, it is certainly not a real Moldavite.
If the Moldavite bead is soft and as thin as a piece of glass bottle, it is not a real Moldavite. It is reported that almost 95% of the faceted Moldavites from Thailand and China are fake. Real Moldavite gems have bubble and swirl formations within it.
Real Moldavites have inclusions of lechatelierite. The presence or lack of it is the best way to determine genuine Moldavites. Fake Moldavite under UV light is observed to grow brightly.
