MOLDAVITE

MOLDAVITE 3.43 cts, "from Meteorite impact, is an olive-green or dull greenish substance formed by a meteorite impact. It is one kind of tektite. Scientists believe moldavites were formed 15 million years ago during the impact of a giant meteorite in present-day Nordlinger Ries. Splatters of rocks that were melted by the impact cooled while they were actually airborne and most fell in central Bohemia Moldavite occurrences are reported mainly from Bohemia and Moravia (Czech Republic)"

Wow, 15 million years old. Makes my 500-2500 year-old coins seem not so old at all!
