Tektites & Moldavite

Tektites are natural glass objects formed when meteorites strike the Earth with such force that terrestrial rocks are melted and ejected into the atmosphere, cooling rapidly as they fall back down. These enigmatic stones are found in specific regions called strewn fields, and their origins have long fascinated scientists and collectors alike. Tektites are typically black or dark brown, but among them, moldavite stands out for its striking green color and gemstone quality.

Moldavite, a rare variety of tektite, was created about 15 million years ago during a massive meteorite impact that formed the Ries Crater in modern-day Germany. Most moldavite is found in the Czech Republic, near the Moldau River, and is prized for its unique swirled and ridged surface, formed as the molten glass cooled while falling through the atmosphere. Moldavite’s extraterrestrial connection and high-vibrational energy have made it especially popular in metaphysical circles, where it is believed to offer psychic protection and healing. Whether you’re captivated by its cosmic origins or its mystical reputation, tektites and moldavites invite you to explore the dramatic intersection of Earth and space.
