The Use Of Moldavite Crystal

By Thomas Phillips


A lot of people that touch or hold a piece of this especially unique crystal will report a strong reaction to it. It has a very powerful energy. Moldavite crystal was discovered many hundreds of years ago and is specific to Czechoslovakia. It is believed to have been created when a meteor crashed to earth approximately fifteen million years ago, scattering red-hot liquid as it entered our planet's atmosphere.

Concentrated in one area to a large extent, small pieces of the semi-precious stone is also commonly found a large distance away with variances in the colour and texture of the stone. Scientists generally believe that this scatter effect was caused by the meteor melting and liquefying as it breached our atmosphere. The molten meteor splattered over a great distance before its final resting place. From there, pieces have also found their way into streams and rivers over the millions of years, washing further away. Locally found pieces are up to twenty centimeters below the soil surface.

The composition of the Moldavite is similar to glass. It is found in a range of dark greens, even ranging to greenish brown and is often described as olive, mossy or forest green. Some pieces are clearer and the swirls and wrinkles can be seen within the stone. Moldavite can be set into jewellery and worn as earrings, pendants or rings and was revered as a spiritual amulet and talisman for fertility and good fortune.

Being as soft as glass in terms of gemstone strength, the Moldavite does not fare well unless it is set into a protective setting, either as a pendant wrapped in wire, or protected in earrings or rings with a metal bezel. Over time and with much use, the stone will wear and lose its high sheen, as well as possibly being damaged.

Surrounded by local folktales, this exotic gemstone had many believing that it would be a precious gift for a young couple about to get married. It was believed that it would bring peace and harmony to their marriage. A popular tale was that it was an emerald from the crown of Lucifer as he was cast out of heaven and fell. As time went by, the beauty and obvious attraction of the stone brought it to the attention of the nobility and they restricted its use to only those of noble or royal birth.

It is considered a growth crystal with the power of earth's constant renewal. It assists in nurturing and promotes spiritual growth. Meditation is helpful in relieving stress and causing brainwaves to slow and many people will meditate with Moldavite and experience out of body travel and visionary states.

Once the stone is placed in the hand it will aid in calming the mind and allowing one to see inward towards knowledge and perfection. Many people will report that they feel a tingling feeling when handling the gem, or a hot sensation within their chest, rising up to the face, so it is advised that anyone dealing with it for the first time be cautious and build up a tolerance for the Moldavite and get used to having it in close proximity.

The strong supernatural properties that the gems hold, as well as the easy energy that it carries, makes it a good stone for most people to connect to. It keeps negative energy at bay and helps the user to separate from unhealthy relationships.
