• DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The Besednice Jezkovna locality is one of the most famous Moldavite localities in the world. Jezkovna Moldavites are renowned for their unique hedgehog-like sculpting, often characterized by forms resembling needles or spines, hence their nickname "hedgehogs". These extraordinary shapes were created by natural erosion processes and give the Moldavites a distinctive appearance that makes them highly prized by collectors. Thanks to their structure, Besednice Jezkovna Moldavites are considered the most beautiful tektites in the world. Moldavites from this locality are generally small; pieces over 10 grams are rare, and those over 20 grams are extremely rare. The locality itself is also relatively small, with a length of about 250 meters and a maximum width of 80 meters. Current Situation Jezkovna is now a closed and strictly protected area, declared a natural monument. Moldavites from this area are generally only available through specialized dealers, which increases their collector's value. Note This Moldavite comes from official excavations in Besednice, where stones were often damaged. The damaged polished surfaces were subsequently acid-treated to achieve a matte finish. These repaired Moldavites are classified as lower quality, an aspect also reflected in the price, making them significantly cheaper and more accessible than undamaged specimens. These stones are suitable for both jewelry and collectors who want very beautiful pieces at a lower price, while still retaining the deep, unique structure of Besednice Jezkovna Moldavites.
