Pick up a Besednice Moldavite and something changes. Even collectors who have been in this hobby for years still feel it. The combination of deep green color, razor-sharp hedgehog surface texture, and the knowledge that this field is gone permanently gives every single piece a weight that goes beyond the number on a scale. This 6.46 gram specimen, SKU DD-12, is a good example of why that feeling holds.
The dimensions are 37x18x8 mm. Long, slim, and flat. The 37mm length gives it an elegant span without being oversized. The 18mm width keeps it narrow enough to feel graceful and refined. The 8mm thickness makes it genuinely flat not a chip, but a slim blade of natural tektite glass that catches the light differently as you turn it. This shape is ideal for pendant settings, for shallow display cases, or simply for handling and examination. It is the kind of stone that feels purposeful in the hand.
The deep green color runs consistently along the full 37mm length. Light hits the edges and passes through the 8mm body with ease, creating a clean translucency where the glass becomes vivid and almost luminous. The Besednice hedgehog surface texture is well-defined across this piece fine glass spires and naturally formed grooves covering the face in the intricate, completely unrepeatable pattern that made this South Bohemian field the most sought-after Moldavite locality in the world. Every ridge is sharp. Every groove is natural.
The Besednice field has been depleted for years. Material from it now comes only from existing collections and preserved reserves. SKU DD-12 is sourced from legally documented Czech Republic inventory with full provenance. Reach out today to find out about pricing on this clean, well-proportioned piece.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Besednice Moldavite?
Besednice Moldavite is a type of Czech tektite collected from the Besednice locality in South Bohemia, Czech Republic. It is considered the finest Moldavite material available because of its rich deep green color and the distinctive hedgehog surface texture fine glass spires and deep natural grooves that no other Czech locality produces at the same level of intensity. The Besednice field is now completely depleted.
What does a 37mm Besednice Moldavite look like?
A 37mm Besednice Moldavite is an elongated piece roughly the width of three fingers laid side by side. This 6.46 gr specimen at 37x18x8 mm has a slim, flat profile with a long elegant reach and a face that shows the hedgehog surface texture clearly along its full length.
Why does Besednice Moldavite cost more than other Czech Moldavite?
Besednice Moldavite commands higher per-gram prices because it comes from a single exhausted locality known for producing the most intricately textured tektites in the Czech Republic. The supply is finite, the locality is depleted, and the visual quality in both color depth and surface detail is consistently superior to material from other Czech fields.
