I'm not sure what your question is. If you found a something that you think is moldavite, please post a photo of it. Someone can help you positively identify if its natural or just regular synthetic.

Answer 3

That looks too large and has the wrong texture to be moldavite. Looks like colored glass in my opinion.

Answer 4

Definately NOT Moldavite. It may be Emerald or some kind of Beryl though. Interesting piece!
