At just 5mm thin, this 5.52-gram Czech Moldavite is one of the most remarkably flat stones you will come across in this weight class. The dimensions are 27x25x5 mm, nearly square, broadly proportioned, and almost impossibly thin for the weight. When you hold it flat in your palm, you notice it immediately. It lies like a sliver of green glass, light and wide, covering a generous area for something that barely registers on the scale.
This kind of extreme flat profile creates a very specific visual experience. The entire face of the stone its flowing sculpted surface, its natural ridges and wave-like grooves is on full display. There is nothing hidden behind depth or thickness. Every texture mark left by the stone's original formation and cooling process is visible and accessible from the front. For collectors who appreciate the visual surface of Moldavite more than its three-dimensional form, this style of piece is exactly what they look for.
The green color across the face is beautiful. Because the stone is only 5mm thick, it has excellent translucency even in ordinary room light. Hold it to a window, and the entire face glows with a warm, clear green that is completely genuine; this is what natural tektite glass looks like when light passes freely through it. No factory glass produces this combination of color and transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions
How thin can genuine Moldavite be?
Genuine Moldavite can be naturally very thin due to the way it formed; the molten glass cooled quickly in the air after the meteorite impact, sometimes producing very flat, wafer-like pieces. This 5.52 gr stone, at just 5mm thick, is an example of a naturally ultra-flat Czech Moldavite.
Does thin Moldavite glow more than thick Moldavite?
Thinner Moldavite shows greater translucency because light passes through it more easily. Ultra-thin pieces like this 5.52 gr stone often appear to glow warmly when held to a window, while thicker pieces show more internal depth and darker coloration at their centers.
