Drop - moldavite shape

Primary shapes of moldavites

The initial shape of all splash-form moldavites were drops, which were created in the separation of bigger tektite melt mass. Other shapes of splash-form moldavites are the result of transformation of some parts of the original malleable drops by rotation. Moldavites with primary shape are very rare among moldavites, representing less than 1% of all…

Moldavites

Moldavites shapes

Moldavites have formed in specific shapes from rotation of the viscous melt in the atmosphere. Many Moldavites have been found with the same recognized shapes seen in tektites from other worldwide localities. The present-day moldavite shapes are not only the result of their formation in the time of their origin but distinctly reflects also the…

Impact of meteorite - Ries - Moldavite origin

The origin of moldavites – common theory

The general (scientific) theory of moldavites origin says that moldavites were formed by meteorite impact at Stuttgart (southwestern Germany) 14,800,000 years ago. Based on calculations and laboratory simulations, it is assumed that this meteorite was of a diameter from 500 to 1000 meters (1640 – 3200 ft.).
