Excellent piece of moldavite in the original matrix. Like others replied I have never seen it in the Raw so to speak and it is great :) Thanks for posting this Hanno

I've never seen one in matrix - very cool. What a gorgeous collection in that museum, especially those teardrops in the front . So is that like the Arkansas diamond surface mining where you can pay a fee and try your luck at finding a diamond?

Beautiful, exquisite! Thank you for sharing with us this unique example of a reworked moldavite embedded in a coarse-grained fluvial conglomerate from the Chlum area, Southern Bohemia!
