Moldavite Grades
So that you know what to expect, I have developed a grading scale for my Moldavite.
Grade | Weight | Level of perfection | Texture |
Regular | less than 5 grams (25 carats) | May have noticeable chip or chips. | Smooth or minor surfacing. |
Superior | 5 – 20 grams (25 – 100 carats) | Larger size possible minor chips | Smooth or minor surfacing. |
Museum A | Over 10 grams (50 carats) | Larger size. Possible minor chip or chips. This class includes Besednice Hedgehogs with minor chip/s. | This grade is based on the quality rather than texture, except in the case of Besednice Hedgehogs where the texture will always be great. |
Collector | over 20 grams (100+ carats) | Close to the top level of Moldavite perfection. This grade is only slightly inferior to the perfection of our Reserve Grade – due to a matter of opinion – my opinion that it didn’t quite make the cut. | Good texture, colour and shape. |
Reserve Museum AAA | Over 20 grams or Perfect Besednice Hedgehogs of any size. | Perfect Moldavites only, no chips. Includes perfect Besednice Hogs of any size. Expect to pay accordingly. | Great texture and desirable shape. Perfection. |
All chips or inclusions, if any, will be noted on each Moldavite in the Shop.
All Moldavites purchased come with my Personal Guarantee of Authenticity, however, Moldavites purchased over $250 will receive a written and signed Certificate with my Personal Guarantee of Authenticity. This document will include a photo and details of your Moldavite, such as location found and month/year uncovered – if known.
