Glossy light green small spheres from deposit Parýz. Found in the year 1993.
The moldavites weigh 2.8 and 2.9g (14 and 14.5ct).
The ball (sphere) shape is full-form type of moldavite shape. Spheres are rare – only about one tenth percent of all moldavites.
I have found Moldavite in Texas. Do you know what time the asteroid hit the earth that created these gems??
That is not a moldavite. Only if somebody lost them. Moldavites are only in central Europe. Check the last picture in the article http://www.aboutmoldavites.com/the-origin-of-moldavites-common-theory/
It could be a different tektite. Probably bediasite – http://www.aboutmoldavites.com/summary-tektites/#Bediasite (more rare tektite than moldavites). Which part in Texas? Thanks
Isn’t it factual that the Only tektites that are green (esp. when backlit) are moldavites? And I live in East Texas which is the location of the find. The larger of the two weights 12 grams while the smaller weights 3 grams. Also located in the area, are Paleo Indian artifacts, including numerous stone tools and worked fossilized shells. The area that was inhabited by these people covers several miles along a very old and deeply carved creek.
I Greatly Appreciate your response!!! If you could perhaps refer me to a reputable scientist or a professional whom can assist my search further I would be very grateful. And, once again, my deepest thanks!!!
Sincerely,

Georgiaites are green too (olive-green), but they are from East-central Georgia (24 Confirmed Counties), two South Carolina counties.
Could you send me some photos of your stones? (email address in http://www.aboutmoldavites.com/contact/).
