Moldavite is a rare, green-colored glass that is believed to have formed around 15 million years ago when a meteorite crashed into Earth, specifically in the Nördlinger Ries crater, located in the present-day Bohemian Plateau (modern-day Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria). The impact caused the local sandstone to melt, and the resulting molten material rapidly cooled, solidifying into what we now call Moldavite. The specific combination of heat and pressure altered the structure of the rock and led to the formation of the glassy-green substance. Its formation and ejection from the original impact site has led it to be classified as a tektite, along with other substances like Indochinite from East Asia, Libyan Desert Glass from the Sahara, and Bediasite from Texas.
