This one is different from everything else in the collection, and not just because of the size. This stone appeared on page 45 of the book "MOLDAVITE: Mysterious Tears from Heaven" second piece in the top right row. It came directly from the private collection of Martin Wichterle, the last owner of the Besednice mine. That is provenance you simply cannot manufacture. Most Moldavites have an origin story that ends somewhere vague. This one has a page number and a name attached to it.
It weighs 40.46 grams and measures 75x41x14 mm. For Besednice, that is a significant stone. The 75mm length is impressive, and the 41mm width means the display face is broad and open nearly the size of a credit card. The 14mm thickness keeps it from feeling flat or fragile. It has a real presence. It fills a display case. It fills a hand. The color is exceptional. Deep, saturated green throughout the body, with the edges catching the light in a warmer, more translucent way. In natural light the stone glows. The interior depth is visible even before you hold it to the light; you can see the glass going down into the stone, layer by layer, in a way that more opaque specimens do not allow.
The hedgehog texture across the full face of this stone is what you would expect from a piece selected for publication. The spires are dense and sharp, the natural grooves are deep and complex, and the overall surface detail is the kind that experienced collectors recognize immediately as exceptional. This was not chosen for that book by accident. Besednice is gone. Martin Wichterle's collection represents the most direct source of verified authentic material that exists. A piece with this level of documented provenance is genuinely rare in any market. Authenticity is included. Contact us today. This one will not sit around.
