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.

This particular gemstone is completely unique to one area but pieces have been found scattered around a large distance away, leading scientists to believe that the crystal was created before impact with the land and were splattered far and wide. In addition, pieces have been found washed into rivers and streams over time. The fragments in the soil of the area are usually found at around 20 centimetres below the surface.

Very similar to man-made glass in strength, it is normally found in a dark green colour, ranging from mossy green to a darker greenish brown. In the clearer pieces of stone the inner patterns of wrinkles and swirls are clearly visible. Moldavite is commonly worn as earrings or necklaces with the belief that it brings good luck and is a spiritual talisman for fertility.

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.

The legends and folk tales surrounding this semi-precious stone are many, but a popular one is that it was the emerald that fell out of Lucifer's crown as he was flung out of heaven. It was treated as a very valuable gift for young couples embarking on a marriage as it was said to bring peace and harmony to their relationship, and also used to decorate common items such as walking sticks. Once it caught the interest of the upper class however, they decided the gem was for exclusive use of royalty and nobility.

One of the powers it is considered to hold is that of growth, harnessing the constant renewal of the earth. The gem helps with nurturing and promoting spiritual growth of the user. While meditation is usually effective for stress relief on its own, causing brainwaves to slow and bring calm, meditation with the use of the stone can cause people to experience out of body travel as well as 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.

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.
