Over 60 grams of Moldavite is classified as extremely rare by specialists in Czech tektites. At 70.66 grams, this raw Besednice-Nesmen specimen goes well past that threshold, and the dimensions make it even more exceptional. At 71x59x18 mm, this stone has an almost square, broadly open face 71mm long and 59 mm wide that displays the full surface character of this legendary sub-locality at a scale most collectors never encounter in person.
Besednice-Nesmen is a distinct collecting area located approximately 2 kilometers north of the main Besednice town in South Bohemia, Czech Republic. Like all Besednice-locality material, it is now completely depleted. The field cannot be mined. The farmlands around Besednice that once yielded these extraordinary tektites have given up everything they are going to give. Every stone that exists from this area exists in a collection somewhere in the world right now. This one is available today. That distinction matters.
The deep forest green color of this specimen is rich and complex. That 59mm width means the entire face of this stone is on full display when it sits flat, a sweeping, dramatic surface covered in the Besednice hedgehog texture. Dense glass spires and deep natural grooves spread across the face from edge to edge. The detail is sharp and completely intact. When backlit, the thinner outer sections of this 18mm-thick stone glow with a beautiful translucency, revealing the inner glass quality that makes Besednice material so prized.
Seventy grams of raw, undamaged, surface-intact Besednice-Nesmen Moldavite is a once-in-a-collection opportunity for any serious tektite enthusiast or institution. Carefully sourced from the renowned Besednice-Nesmen sub-locality in South Bohemia, Czech Republic, this exceptional specimen offers the authentic origin and trusted provenance discerning collectors value.
