Moldavite is an amorphous tektite consisting of green glassy natural material. The hardness according to the Mohs hardness scale (1 to 10 where diamond has a value of 10) is 6.5 to 6.9. The Moldavite was formed about 15 million years ago by the impact of two meteorites of 1.5 km and 150 meters in diameter, which simultaneously struck at an angle of 30-50 degrees relative to the earth's surface at a speed of about 20 km. /second. The impact craters of these are almost certainly the Nördlinger Ries and the Steinheim crater in southern Germany. These impacts released an enormous amount of energy 1.8 million times that of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Huge pressures were reached at a temperature of more than 30,000 degrees Celsius. As a result, large amounts (about 150 km³ in total) of sand and earth were melted and thrown into space. After re-entry into the atmosphere, these fragments of terrestrial matter solidified, mixed with the extraterrestrial matter and fell back to the ground in a so-called 'scatter region' that roughly covers the area of ​​the Czech Republic. A very small part of it solidified into Moldavite. Contrary to what most claim, the Moldavite is found in several places in the Czech Republic. Smaller scattering areas, independent of that in the Czech Republic, are located in northern Austria and parts of Germany bordering the Czech Republic. The most precious Moldavite is found at the upper reaches of the Vltava, in the south of the Czech Republic. It has a green color with small inclusions. This stone is also called the Czech Emerald and is used in the crown jewels of the Czech Republic. The stones found in Moravia are brown in color and less precious. Because the deposits of Moldavite are quickly exhausted, this stone is becoming more and more precious.
