The numbers on this one 34x15x9 mm, 5.36 grams, SKU AK-95 describe a stone that is slim, moderately elongated, and meaningfully thick relative to its narrow width. The 9mm depth on a 15mm-wide piece means the cross-section is almost square. That is an unusual and interesting characteristic: when you hold this stone between two fingers along its length, you feel the full 9mm depth beneath your fingertips. It is a more substantial grip than a flat piece of similar weight offers, and that changes how the stone feels to interact with.
The 34mm length is long enough to reward examination without being ungainly. You can turn it slowly and observe the hedgehog texture across its full face, watching how the fine glass spires catch the light as the angle shifts. The 15mm width keeps it narrow; this is not a broad, panoramic piece. It rewards close attention, the kind you give to something you have in your fingers rather than something you stand back and observe from a distance.
The deep forest green of the Besednice locality shows well in this piece. The 9mm body depth makes interior translucency visible primarily at the thinner edges, where the glass glows cleanly when a light source is directed from behind or the side. The hedgehog surface texture runs along the full length tight clusters of fine spires and organic grooves that are sharp, well-preserved, and entirely natural. Origin is legally documented from verified Czech Republic sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 34x15x9 mm mean for a Moldavite's shape?
It means the stone is 34mm long (roughly the width of two large thumbnails side by side), 15mm wide (roughly a fingernail's width), and 9mm deep. This particular shape is slim and elongated with a relatively deep body, giving it an almost square cross-section and a solid feel despite its modest weight of 5.36 grams.
Can I use a small Besednice Moldavite as a pendant stone?
Yes. Elongated slim pieces like this 34x15x9 mm specimen are popular for pendant settings because their narrow profile fits naturally into wire wraps or prong mounts. The 34mm length creates an elegant hanging form when set vertically. Contact us if you are interested in pairing a stone with a custom setting.
How do I care for a raw Besednice Moldavite?
Raw Besednice Moldavite should be stored away from harder stones or metals that could scratch the fine glass spires. Keep it in a soft-lined case or a padded display box. Avoid harsh chemicals. Gentle cleaning with a soft, dry brush is sufficient for removing dust from the surface texture.
