Moldavite Museum in Český Krumlov

The total estimated number of fallen Moldavites is about 20 million. If all of them were found and put together, they would form a sphere with a diameter of 14 m. But where did they come from? You can find out more about their origin – and much more – in the Moldavite Museum.

By the way, did you know that the name of Moldavites is derived from the river Vltava (“Moldau” in German), because the first Moldavites were found on its banks? This modern, interactive exhibition on Moldavites is a world-wide rarity. You will learn about the origin of Moldavites and why they are so unique and you will have a chance to compare Moldavites found on different sites. The origin of Moldavites is presented in a way that is attractive not only to geologists but also to fans of astrology and others.
