Moldavite from Besednice,
Bohemia
Czech Republic
“Moldavites - The Czech Tektites”, states that “The first human
being that was interested in Moldavites was a Cro-Magnon man from the
aurignacian age, i.e., the Upper Paleolithic. Several potsherds
(fragments) of green moldavite glass were found together with the famous
statue of Venus of Willendorf, which is about 29,000 years old, at
Willendorf in Lower Austria.” Fragments of Moldavites were also found in
many other sites, throughout central Europe, which yielded relics from
prehistoric inhabitants.
Moldavites have been shown to be about 14.7 million years old. The most
popular explanation of their origin, according to Prof. Bouska, is that
they were formed during the impact of a large meteorite, or comet nuclei,
with the Earth’s surface.
He explains the formation of tektites in simplified terms: “An
enormous body with a volume of several cubic kilometers is racing towards
the Earth. The uppermost layers of the Earth’s surface are melted by the
highly compressed hot air cushion in front of the flying meteorite prior
to its contact with the surface of the Earth.
