Using Moldavite Crystal For Personal Meditation

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 weak as glass, the gemstone easily chips and breaks and needs to be treated with care. Any jewellery that it is made into will need to be constructed to protect the stone or amulet with a wrapping of wire or a metal bezel. It is better to use the stones to make earrings or a pendant as it more likely to get damaged when set into a ring. Time and use will erode the gemstone leaving it with a dull finish.

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.

It is considered a growth crystal with the power of earth's constant renewal. It assists in nurturing and promotes spiritual growth. Meditation is helpful in relieving stress and causing brainwaves to slow and many people will meditate with Moldavite and experience out of body travel and 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.

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.
