The beauty of moldavites, the authentic nature of South Bohemia, the night sky, and the thrill of hunting for moldavites. All of this is captured on this T-shirt by South Bohemian artist Katien. Many people fall under its green spell. This T-shirt is for everyone who loves moldavites and South Bohemia.
A moldavite is a so-called tektite—meteoric glass (from the Greek tektos, meaning “melted”). Tektites are found all over the world, but those with the most beautiful colors and shapes come from the South Bohemia region. That’s why it’s called “vltavín,” after the Vltava River.
Their formation is linked to the impact of a meteorite approximately 1 km in diameter near the town of Nördlingen, Germany, during the Miocene epoch (15 million years ago). Upon impact, Tertiary sediments were transformed into a molten, glass-like mass and carried by the wind primarily to southern Bohemia and southern Moravia. The green color is caused by iron content. Moldavites are now highly prized, especially in jewelry making.
