Meditation And Healing With 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
