        Moldavite has been found in Moldau Czech name) River Valley, Czechoslovakia only. The most popular conjecture today is they were formed by the impact of intense meteorite shower between 15 and 20 million years ago. The surrounding material was fused by the tremendous heat and pressure produced by the impact and catapulted back into the atmosphere. Then fell back and scattered within the diameter of hundreds of kilometers. The friction of atmosphere against the cooling magma created the surface sculpture so unique to Moldavite. Only a very small portion of the original sediments have been preserved until now.They were found in the Bohemian sites which are near the Moldau River Valley, north of Prague, Czechoslovakia. They were thus named after this locality. There are several localities in different areas of the valley where Moldavite is dug from the ground, more famous ones are Besednice deposit and Chlum deposit.
