Found in Bohemia.
Approximately 14.7 million years ago, a meteorite struck what is now southern Germany — a single impact powerful enough to vaporize the earth and launch molten silica thousands of kilometers into the sky.
What rained down across what is now the Czech Republic wasn't the meteorite. It was the Earth itself, transformed by the heat into a new substance: a green, translucent glass that doesn't exist anywhere else on the planet. The Czechs named it after the river it was first found near — the Vltava, or in German, the Moldau.
The fragment in this piece comes from that strewnfield in southern Bohemia, sourced from local finders, and shaped in our Barcelona workshop. A meteorite hit Earth — and Earth answered.

What you're looking at.
The lines, ripples, and bubbles on the surface of moldavite are called schlieren — patterns frozen into the glass when it was still molten, mid-flight, 14.7 million years ago. They're the fingerprints of the impact.
No two pieces are alike. Each one cooled at a slightly different rate, at a slightly different angle, in a slightly different part of the sky. The texture you see was sculpted by physics in less than a minute, and has remained unchanged for millions of years since.

"We source ours directly from finders in southern Bohemia, where the strewnfield is small and almost worked out. Every piece you see here came from someone's careful, patient day in the woods. Then it crossed Europe to our workshop in Barcelona, where we shaped it by hand."— Emil
Frequently asked.
Not exactly. Moldavite is a tektite — natural glass formed when a meteorite impacted Earth approximately 14.7 million years ago, vaporizing the surrounding rock and flinging it into the atmosphere. What rained back down was no longer rock and no longer meteorite — it was a new substance, born from the collision of the two. So technically: not a meteorite, but born from one.
Moldavite is glass, with a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs scale — similar to obsidian or opal. It's durable enough for everyday wear in pendants and earrings, but we recommend caution with rings or bracelets, where impact is more likely. Treat it as you would a fine glass gemstone.
True moldavite has a distinctive bottle-green color, schlieren texture, internal bubbles, and a slightly velvety surface even when polished. Counterfeit moldavite (typically green bottle glass) lacks these features. Every Stardust moldavite is sourced directly from finders in Bohemia, verified, and shipped with a Certificate of Authenticity authenticated by our co-founder Emil Davidsson — an accredited member of the International Meteorite Collectors Association (IMCA #4748).
The original strewnfield is small (roughly 270 km long), and the most accessible deposits have been heavily worked since the 1980s. Most experts agree that economic recovery of moldavite will end within a generation. We pay premium prices to local finders precisely because the material is finite.
Yes, in protected settings (pendants, earrings, necklaces). Avoid wearing it during physical work, exercise, or in saltwater. Clean only with a soft dry cloth — avoid chemical cleaners. With normal care, your piece will last generations.
