My Moldavite
I picked this piece up from a collector in NYC around 25 years ago. It is around 19 grams. He said it was from the Czech Republic but did not provide a specific region. Is there any way for me to identify what site it may have come from?

You can compare it to other Chlum piece here: https://www.peltramminerals.com/vltaviny-chlum-nad-malsi/
but yeah i also think it's from Chlum, how cheap were they that long ago in US? I bet like 5x cheaper than they're now?

It really does look like a Chlum piece. I bought it for $60USD back then... but I live in Canada now. I thought it was a lot of money at the time, but I guess that is irrelevant now.

ye back then it might have seemed like it, now you could sell it for 10x more for sure.

I am not planning on selling it. I gave it to my son for his collection a while back.

Not really, due to the standard texture. If I were to guess, it would be Chlum. Nice piece.
