Three dimensions in close agreement that is what defines SKU EE-97. This Czech Moldavite weighs 7.21 grams and measures 25x21x11 mm. The length is 25mm, the width is 21mm, and the depth is 11mm. All three are within 14mm of each other. The result is a stone that is compact in every direction simultaneously, not elongated, not flat, not thin. It occupies space like a solid natural object should, and that quality is immediately apparent when you hold it.
That compactness concentrates the 7.21 grams into a small physical footprint, which makes the stone feel noticeably denser than photographs suggest. The 11mm depth is the most significant dimension here; it is nearly as deep as it is wide, which creates a genuinely three-dimensional piece with real glass volume behind the 25x21mm face. Looking at this stone from the side reveals a different face entirely from the front, which is one of the qualities that makes compact deep-body pieces engaging to collect.
The deep Czech Moldavite green fills the stone completely. Backlit from the side, the 11mm body glows with a layered, rich interior color that reveals the natural glass composition clearly. The surface on the front face carries the naturally formed ridges and channels characteristic of genuine Czech tektite individual, organic, and impossible to replicate with any molding or casting process. The texture is sharp and clearly defined across the full 25x21mm face.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an 11mm deep Moldavite look like from the side?
From the side, an 11mm deep Moldavite shows a profile that is nearly as tall as the stone is wide. In this piece 21mm wide and 11mm deep the side profile reveals a distinct face of its own with visible surface character. This gives the stone meaningful visual interest from multiple orientations, unlike flat pieces that show almost nothing from the side.
Is a compact Moldavite easier to display than an elongated one?
Compact pieces generally rest more stably without a stand because their shorter dimensions reduce the risk of tipping. This 25x21x11mm piece sits naturally on either its face or its side. Elongated pieces may require a small display stand to prevent rolling, especially if they are slim.
What is the significance of tektite glass composition in Moldavite?
Moldavite's glass composition is unique it formed from the fusion of terrestrial rock and soil under the extreme heat and pressure of a meteorite impact, producing a glass with no volcanic or volcanic-hydrothermal origin. This makes it chemically distinct from obsidian and other natural glasses. The composition is one of the confirmed methods scientists use to authenticate genuine Moldavite specimens.
