Moldavite (Czech: Vltavín) is an olive-green or dull greenish vitreous substance possibly formed by a meteorite impact in southern Germany (Nördlinger Ries), which would make it one kind of tektite. They were introduced to the scientific public for the first time in 1786 as “chrysolites” from Týn nad Vltavou in a lecture by professor Josef Mayer of Prague University, read at a meeting of the Bohemian Scientific Society (Mayer 1788). Zippe (1836) first used the term “moldavite” derived from the town of Moldauthein (Czech: Týn nad Vltavou) - now in Bohemia (the Czech Republic), from where the first described pieces came.

Alles ganz prima. Der Anhänger ist genau wie beschrieben, in echt sogar noch schöner. Für leichte Verzögerungen bei der Lieferung kann der Verkäufer nichts, das liegt rein an DHL.

Goed verpakt. Steen in ring ziet er gedragen donker (bijna zwart) uit, spijtig. Moest verplicht worden minstens 1 foto (realistisch) te maken, gedragen en in daglicht. Hanger is mooi

Zoals op foto. Mooi, makkelijk op maat te schuiven. Goed verpakt, wel ietwat langer geduurd door de feestdagen. Blij mee
