Short answer: in all practicality, you can't. Long answer: The stuff is glass, easily and abundantly faked. Examining material collected by an expert might give you an eye for the real stuff. Museums occasionally have identification days where they answer the public's questions. Sending it to a meteorite expert, or a lab for analysis, might provide an answer, assuming there's something unique about the stuff that will clearly point to it's meteoritic impact origin. The cost of analysis will greatly exceed the value of the moldavite. All of the above keeps me shy of moldavite, it's just too dodgy.
