Pendant size 4.7x1.5x1cm, silver The meteorite cab is acid etched to show the Widmanstten pattern, measures 1x.9x.5cm. The Moldavite is from South Bohemian Region Chlum, Czech Republic, teardrop shaped. measures 3.7x1.5x.8cm Moldavites are tektites that formed after the impact of a meteorite in Bavaria 14,800,000 years ago, and are found only in our territory. The asteroid, about 1 km in size, flew at a very oblique angle and formed a roughly 25 km large Ries Kessel crater, in which the town of Nördlingen was built millions of years later. Before the impact, the asteroid disintegrated into smaller parts, creating a Steinheim crater with a diameter of about 4 km at a distance of 30 km from the main crater. Subsequent energy transfer caused the melting of the surrounding rocks and their ejection into the upper atmosphere, where they were vitrified and subsequently solidified and impacted on the territory of southern Bohemia and the Moravian part of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands.
