The first thing you notice is the length. At 67mm, this is a long, slim stone  almost like a blade of ancient green glass. The 19mm width keeps it narrow and sleek, and the 12mm thickness gives it just enough body to feel substantial in the hand. It weighs 13.93 grams. Not heavy, but present. Elongated Besednice specimens have a different kind of appeal than the rounder ones. There is something refined about the shape. It looks intentional even though nothing about it was formed this way millions of years ago, shaped by heat and velocity and chance. Holding it, you are aware of all of that history in a way that is hard to explain.
 
The color runs deep green along the length of the stone. Hold it sideways against a window and the thinner sections near the edges light up with a beautiful amber-green translucency. Because the stone is narrow, more of the body catches the light, and the effect is particularly vivid. The surface texture travels the full 67mm  not just the middle, not just one face, but all the way from one end to the other. The hedgehog texture on this piece is detailed and well-preserved. Fine spires branch outward from the surface, and the natural channels between them are sharp and deep. On a long stone like this, that texture creates a kind of visual rhythm as your eye travels down the length. It is one of those pieces you could examine for a long time.
 
Besednice has been depleted for many years. This stone comes from legally preserved reserves in the Czech Republic and is full of authenticity. Contact us today for pricing.
