Identity HelpIs my a Moldavite real?

31st Mar 2014 06:00 UTCJordan Fakename

Thank you all very much for your insight. I bought this stone on eBay from a big seller with 1000's if reviews. I have a small piece of moldavite that I feel an energy from, but not so much from this piece.

Certainly looks like a real moldavite to me. As for the lack of energy, that's probably because moldavite contains no radioactive elements, except a tiny bit of potassium, and it isn't fluorescent either. Only minerals exhibiting one of the various types of luminescence, or minerals containing radioactive elements, give off any energy.

It does not look like moldavite to me. Its too shiny. How big if the thing? Most of them have a characteristic surface texture which seems missing in your specimen.

It does look rather shiny for a moldavite, maybe it has been chipped revealing the glassy interior, I'm only going on comparisons with my own specimens which seem to have a dull surface. Other than the shine I think it looks genuine, I think I can even see the worm like lechlaterite inclusions which help to confirm its authenticity.

Hi, I can definitely say, without any doubt whatsoever the the Moldavite in the photos is a 100% fake,

It's too glossy, they get like that when they're chipped, but the surface becomes flat, Not textured like yours, So I sorry, but that's it, Get a refund etc.

Ps, I've been dealing with this tectite directly from the source for years.
