Moldavite Drop from Japan
A natural moldavite drop, a rare tektite formed from meteoric impact glass, presented as a raw, unpolished stone for metaphysical or collector use. It is classified as an article of other mineral substances, not elsewhere specified, since it is neither a gemstone of Chapter 71 nor a worked monumental stone of heading 68.02.

Import Tips
• Ensure the moldavite is declared as a natural mineral specimen, not a gemstone, to avoid Chapter 71 classification
• Keep a certificate of authenticity or origin to support the tektite's natural formation
• Verify if any provincial restrictions apply to metaphysical stones, though CBSA generally allows them
