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.

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.

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.

Holding the stone within the hand causes many people to experience a tingling feeling directly around the stone, as well as a further sensation of heat in their chest, rising up to the face. While helpful in calming the mind and allowing one to see within to gain knowledge and perfection, it is strongly advised that users proceed with some caution and build up a tolerance to the effects.

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.
