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 pieces.
Primary moldavites shapes:

Very interesting, but one question: what is the difference(s) between a disc and a cake?
Thank you! N.
Moldavite cake shape is a type of disc. It looks really like a cake with pressed the inside and with protruded edge. I will add a photo…
Hi Frantisek, thank you very much for your kind reply. I see how it can look like – it’s quite a known shape among tektites. But I am curious to see the picture to be sure and for the pleasure of the eyes !
Love this site! Thank You!
A question- What about square/rectangle??
(I’ve got 2 beautiful, elongated square, and slightly curved in, kind of like a slab of tree bark. Nearly perfect, with all of the classic signs of authenticity. Wish I could share a photo)
Square/rectangle – it is a natural fragment of bigger thin piece.
