How To Spot Fake Moldavite – 3 Tips To Help You Out

How To Spot Fake Moldavite – 3 Tips To Help You Out

Moldavite is a form of glass that was created via a one time meteor impact in what is now the Czech Republic 15 million years ago. Many different varieties of tektites exist. Unfortunately today, due to somebody claiming that it will “change your life”, the cost on this material has skyrocketed. Regrettably to make it affordable people are breaking apart complete pieces and now good specimens are becoming hard to find.

    Well, now I need to figure out where I can see moldavite irl someday.

    One possible note of weariness/question, and I can’t imagine the effort would be worth it, but never know – I have paperweights of lower quality which have grit, bubbles, and other very tiny imperfections in the glass, it’s actually a means for identifying origin/estimated age, but they still have that high sheen wet look. I’m not familiar with moldavite, but I’d assume if it has the wet look or the really bold green those would be the major flags, even if inclusions are present?

    Very informative, I’m glad we have people like you helping to keep others from being fooled—and to share pretty neat info!

    Good short! very informative! I never buy serious stuff from wish or those kind of sites. the chance you’re being ripped off is just way to high.

    I looked up this info when we talked about moldavite before. It’s seriously hard to find the real thing.
