Anne, Sterling, Zelimir & all, Hal Povenmire has a nice tabulation in his book "Tektites: a Cosmic Enigma" (2003). Here are a few additions from that list:
Bohemian moldavites: 500 gms (Sorry Anne; not a contender) Moravian moldavites: 265.5 gms Java: 750 gms Georgia: 70.5 gms Bediasites: 200.8 gms Thailand: 456 gms in all cases not including Muong Nong types. The biggest remaining Rizalite in Futrell's collection 991.7 gms. I have a bunch of Povenmire's 2003 revision at $20 each if anyone is interested in acquiring one.
