Moldavite is a tektite-a mysterious group of glassy objects, that is the product of a meteor collision with Earth nearly 15 million years ago (14.8 to be exact) which created the Reis impact crater. It is believed to have fallen from the sky only once, over what is now called the Moldau River Valley in Czechoslovakia. Found only in the Czech Republic, these green gems are among the rarest minerals on Earth-perhaps rarer than diamonds, rubies, and emeralds (hence being a bit pricey).

Prized by humans for thousands of years, they are still given as gifts from royalty to royalty. Stories of legend associate Moldavite with the legendary Stone of the Holy Grail, an “emerald” said to have fallen from the sky.

What is an Angel Chime Moldavite?
Incredibly rare, unusual, and highly sought after by collectors are the Angel Chime moldavites. It is estimated that less than 1% of all pieces found are chiming Moldavite. These unique tektites are not another type of moldavite but rather a form of moldavite identified by their very special sound.
