    Amazing video, you can tell by the growth structure during the cutting of the pieces. this looks natural but i could be wrong. I personally have a very old lot I was given over 15 years ago and had a few pieces cut in Jaipur. concern myself i got them tested and all was natural moldavite but one piece was fake glass out of 35 pieces. this tone looks more brownish green

      Yes, it looks natural, but no need for me to argue with those who were convinced it was fake...The GIA Lab Report solved that issue. It's natural. 35 pieces...wow...that's a lot!

Yes sold many and have mostly faceted Emerald cut left and a few original rough specimens i didn't get cut. when dealing with someone you must know and trust who you are buying from.

    I've been offered rough Moldavite, from a trusted source. I have considered it a couple times but never taken the plunge because it's really expensive. Your video has given me real pause. I think discretion might be the better part of valour. on this one. Fun Note: the U in valour as in Colour - Just means the writer is using Oxford English. Us Brits us the same dictionary as our fellow Antipodeans (Australia and New Zealand). Thank you for sharing.

    I dont understand how anyone that says your samples are fake have any actiual experience dealing with geniune Moldavite. Having touched many examples of the genuine stuff I can tell that I am fairly sure it is genuine. To be 100% sure you need a microscope to see the characteristics that assure one of genuine material.

      Thank you! In this case, I had it tested by GIA and it is natural Moldavite. I prefer having the stone tested, this way I have a cert from a reputable lab.

      @@BOPIESDiamondsFineJewelry The problem is that to have, what at best is a semi-gem, tested by GIA costs you far more than the value of the stone. Your best bet is to find someone that has proved to be reliable as your source of stones.

    So where are the bubbles?
    Could be great if you hold your moldavite against the light… thank you. I purchased a Moldavite pendant in Czech Republic but I have suspicion that It’s not a real Moldavite, but only Glass. I still cannot identify if it’s real or fake.
