The face of this Czech Moldavite SKU CC-57, 7.16 grams, 28x21x9 mm is nearly square. Twenty-eight millimeters long and twenty-one millimeters wide. Only seven millimeters separate those two measurements. When you look at this stone directly from above, it has an open, balanced, almost symmetrical character that longer narrower pieces in the same weight class do not share. The natural surface texture spreads outward from the center in multiple directions simultaneously rather than running primarily along a single axis.
That distinction of how the surface texture is distributed across the face is part of what makes different Moldavite shapes genuinely different to collect and examine, not just different in dimension. On this nearly square face, the organically formed ridges and channels cover the stone from edge to edge in a more radial, expansive pattern. The full 28x21mm surface is visible at once from directly above, with nothing hidden behind a narrow profile.
The 9mm depth gives the stone a real body without making it feel too chunky. The deep Czech Moldavite green runs cleanly across the face. Under any directional light, the stone shows the characteristic translucency at its outer edges, the warm, living quality of genuine natural tektite glass that no synthetic substitute produces at the same depth of color. The 9mm body holds the interior green richly while the edges open up with light.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a nearly square Moldavite face?
A nearly square Moldavite face is one where the length and width measurements are close in value in this case, 28mm long and 21mm wide. This creates a broader, more open front profile than elongated pieces of the same weight, making the natural surface texture visible across a wider area from a single viewing angle.
How do I know Czech Moldavite is genuine?
Genuine Czech Moldavite has a specific gravity slightly lower than standard glass, an irregular and naturally formed surface texture, internal flow structures visible under magnification, and a deep green color that shifts under different lighting. Pieces from Rare Moldavites come from legally documented Czech Republic sources with traceable provenance.
Why do different Moldavite specimens look so different from each other?
Moldavite formed from a single meteorite impact event but scattered across a wide geographic area. Each piece cooled at a slightly different rate, traveled a different trajectory, and spent millions of years in a unique soil environment. These variables combine to give every raw Moldavite specimen a completely individual shape, surface texture, and color depth.
