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.

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 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.

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.

Placing and holding the stone within the hand will bring a calmness to the mind, allowing the user the see inward to knowledge and a perfect state of being. Most people have reported a feeling of tingling where the stone has had contact with the skin, followed by a sensation of heat within the chest which rises to the face. It is therefore advised that anyone handling the stone proceed cautiously, 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.
