The most interesting dimensional detail about this Besednice Moldavite SKU UU-36, 6.31 grams, 35x15x13 mm is the relationship between its width and its depth. The stone is 15mm wide and 13mm deep. Those numbers are almost identical. That means the cross-section of this stone, taken perpendicular to its length, is almost a perfect square. At 13mm deep, this is one of the most three-dimensionally substantial pieces available in the 6-gram range.
What that cross-section does for the stone's visual and tactile character is significant. Hold it vertically and the 13mm depth is clearly visible as genuine bulk, not thickness on a flat slab, but actual solid glass body running behind the face. Look at it from the end and the square cross-section is unmistakable. For collectors who specifically seek out specimens that feel like proper geological objects rather than flat decorative pieces, this shape is immediately appealing.
The 35mm length is generous for a stone with these proportions. It gives the piece reach and visual presence while the deep body gives it weight and substance. The color is the characteristic deep Besednice green, which catches and shifts beautifully under different lighting. The hedgehog surface texture covers the face and edges with fine spires and deep grooves, the Besednice signature that no other Czech field replicates at this level of intensity. Every detail is sharp, intact, and completely natural.
This piece comes from legally documented Czech Republic sources. The Besednice field itself has been depleted for years. Contact us today to ask about pricing on SKU UU-36 before this unusual shape finds its home.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is meant by a square cross-section on a Moldavite?
A square cross-section means that when the stone is cut perpendicular to its longest axis, the resulting shape is approximately equal in width and height. For this 6.31 gr piece, that means 15mm wide by 13mm deep, a nearly square profile. This creates a three-dimensional solidity that is quite different from flat or thin specimens of similar weight.
Why would a collector choose a deep-body Moldavite over a flat one?
Collectors choose deep-body pieces for their substantial feel in the hand, their more complex interior when backlit from the side, and their visual presence from multiple angles. Flat pieces excel at surface display and overhead photography; deep-body pieces reward handling and multi-angle examination.
Is the Besednice Moldavite field still producing new material?
No. The Besednice field in South Bohemia, Czech Republic, has been completely exhausted. All Besednice Moldavite on the market today comes from existing collections and legally preserved reserves. No new material is being extracted.
