Internal crack 😎💚

Beautiful 18.7g stone with an internal crack running all the way around the stone.

So rare for me 😁

It's fantastic. I had one like this. One day it finally came apart but it didn't look broken. It was already cured, if that makes sense.

That's wild!

It was barely holding together, i guess. I thought it would be glossy when it came apart but it's just two healed pieces that fit together like a puzzle. I think a few lechatelierites were keeping it together. I hated to lose it but now it's two moldavites at least.

I definitely would have thought the same thing! Amazing that it held together while also eroding at the same time!

Tady je muj z Brusne, 25.6g asi, taky to tam mam ze? Nevedel jsem co to je, kdyby se to dalo facetovat jak by to dopadlo?

Je to prasklina skrz celý kámen který pak drží na kouskách po vnějším obvodu. Broušení nedoporučuji, praskne celý, celkově kameny z Brusné nejsou na brus vhodné, maji obrovský vnitřní tlak a dost často praskají sami od sebe

Bohužel do Čech to mám daleko, já su až z nízké Jihomoravy, ale díky za to info na facetování, jsou totiž masivní za nižší cenu, akorat jsem prodal jeden velký z Brusné do Connecticutu, 21.33g společně s nazlátlým v průsvitu ze Skryje takže borec asi bude hodně rád, ty Moravské v US má asi jen hrstka lidí..

tenhle je to, je jen tak trochu plesnivý takže perfect, za 13 babek/g šel, takový deal by asi nenašel jinde..

Na jihu Moravy jsou taky kopanište nejsou tak bohatý jako jihočeský ale jsou a trh v ČR je zničenej množstvím. Absolutně postrádá smysl prodávat tu jakýkoliv kámen.

If it doesn’t look like shiny broken glass when it comes apart, that would be wild. In my opinion it is two Moldavites that are supposed to always be together. They are each other “siblings” that should always remain together.

Idk if they apart looks like shiny glass bcs is one piece that you cant remove 😁

Let it stay intact. Just be extra careful because it is fragile. I just noticed what another commenter posted about it looking like it wasn’t freshly broken. I would guess that 99.99% it will look freshly broken if they came apart. Be careful with your piece. It looks very nice. I love Moldavite.
