Using Moldavite Crystal For Personal Meditation

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some of Moldavite crystals stronger qualities are the philosophic power as well as the energy that it carries which makes it very easy for most people to connect to. The gem prevents negative energies from attaching to the user as well as helping to separate them from unhealthy relationships.
