Balance is the word that comes to mind with SKU AN-76. This Besednice Moldavite weighs 5.62 grams and measures 31x18x8 mm. Those are comfortable, proportional dimensions, the kind that do not call attention to any single attribute but instead create a stone that just works in every context. Not too long, not too wide, not too thick. The 31mm length gives it presence. The 18mm width keeps it grounded. The 8mm depth gives it a real glass body without making it chunky.
This is the kind of piece that works for anything. As a standalone display stone it rests cleanly and shows the full face without needing a stand. As a pendant stone the 31x18mm face is substantial enough to photograph beautifully and the 8mm depth keeps it from being bulky when worn. As a handling piece for close examination, the dimensions fit naturally in the fingers and allow easy rotation to study every angle of the surface.
The hedgehog texture on this piece is the full Besednice character. Fine glass spires and deep natural grooves cover the surface in the intricate, completely individualized pattern that this locality alone produces at this level of intensity. The deep green color is well-developed and consistent. When backlit, the 8mm body creates a pleasant translucency not the dramatic glow of ultra-thin pieces, but a warm, clean inner luminosity that confirms the genuine tektite glass composition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good all-round size for a Besednice Moldavite?
A well-proportioned Besednice piece in the 5–7 gram range with dimensions around 30x15x8 mm to 35x20x10 mm is considered the ideal all-round collector size substantial enough to display clearly, small enough to handle comfortably, and large enough to show the hedgehog texture with full detail. This 5.62 gr piece at 31x18x8 mm fits that description closely.
Can a Besednice Moldavite be both a display piece and a pendant stone?
Yes. Pieces with a face area of roughly 25x15mm or larger and a depth of 8–12mm work well both as standalone display specimens and as pendant stones. This piece at 31x18x8 mm is large enough to display clearly and proportioned correctly for many standard pendant settings.
How do I verify the origin of a Besednice Moldavite I am purchasing?
Ask the seller for documentation of legal Czech origin, the specific locality name (Besednice, South Bohemia), and traceable sourcing information. Reputable dealers source directly from legally permitted Czech inventory and can provide this information. Rare Moldavites offers full documentation with every purchase.
