The Use Of Moldavite Crystal

By Thomas Phillips


This unusual crystal is believed to have very strong energy and many people have a strong reaction to it when they first touch or hold a piece. Moldavite crystal is very rare and can only be found in Czechoslovakia. It was discovered hundreds of years ago and was thought to originate from a meteor that hit the earth millions of years ago, scattering molten fragments as it entered the earth's atmosphere.

Although specifically found in one area, small pieces have been found great distances away, leading scientists to understand that the impact was great. Pieces have been found in streams and rivers, as well as up to twenty centimetres underground. The fragments are not very big at all, and erosion over time also influences the sizes, with most found pieces being small enough to create into a pendant.

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.

The gemstone is not particularly hard and will chip and break easily so any stone set into a piece of jewellery should be protected in its setting with a metal bezel or wire. It is best used as earrings or pendants and is too brittle for rings, having the same sort of strength as normal glass. Over time and use it will wear slightly.

Folklore surrounds this particular stone in its area of origin, with many believing that it was an emerald that fell out of Lucifer's crown as he was cast out of heaven. It was a valued gift given to young couples to bring harmony and peace to their marriage. The highly prized stone was later restricted to those of noble or royal birth in ancient times and used as adornments in walking sticks.

Many consider the power of the crystal to be of the ongoing renewal of the earth. It is meant to assist in nurturing and protection as well as promote the wearers own spiritual growth. On its own, meditation is used to bring calm and relaxation, ridding the body and mind of stress. There have been many reports of people using Moldavite while meditating and experiencing visionary states and out of body travel.

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.

Moldavite crystals are known for having powerful metaphysical properties as well as an energy that is easy for most people to connect to. It prevents negative energies and aids in separating one from unhealthy personal relationships.
