This piece is the kind of Moldavite that stops you when you look at the dimensions a second time. It weighs 5.49 grams and measures 32x29x7 mm. Look at that: 32mm wide, 29mm tall, and just 7mm thin. The nearly square, flat profile gives this stone a completely different character from round, chunky tektites of similar weight. It is broad and open, almost like a small natural tile of green glass, and the wide flat face means you see the full surface pattern at a single glance.
 
Flat, wide Moldavite with a near-square footprint at this size is a genuinely interesting shape variant. The flowing, wrinkled natural surface spreads across the wide face in a way that is far more visible and dramatic than on a compact or elongated piece. Place it on a white surface or hold it toward a window, and the natural light plays across every groove and ridge in a way that makes the stone look completely alive.
 
The color is a clean, rich Czech green. At only 7mm thick, light passes through the stone more readily than through a denser specimen, giving the edges and thinner sections a bright, translucent glow when backlit. It looks especially striking when displayed flat against a contrasting surface in a display case.
 
This is a stone that rewards close attention. The broad face gives it great visual surface area for its weight, making it work harder as a display piece than many heavier, smaller stones. We legally source all our Moldavite directly from the Czech Republic. Message us today for pricing.
 
Frequently Asked Questions
 
What makes a flat Moldavite unique compared to a chunky one? 
Flat Moldavite shows the full natural surface texture across a wider visible area, making it appear more dramatic when displayed. It also tends to show greater translucency because light passes through the thinner sections more easily. This 5.49 gr piece at 32x29x7 mm has an almost square flat profile that displays the sculpting of the stone beautifully.
 
Is flat or thick Moldavite better for collecting? 
Neither is objectively better; shape preference is personal. Flat, wide specimens tend to display better from above. Chunky, thick specimens feel more substantial in the hand and show internal depth when backlit. Both are genuine Moldavite and valued by collectors for different reasons.
