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.

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 crystal is not very strong or sturdy, with a composition very similar to manmade glass. Often described as mossy, forest or olive green, pieces have also been found that display a brownish green tint. In the clearer samples found, it is easy to see the wrinkles and eddies within. Moldavite is popularly made into pendants and earrings, and in days gone by was held in high regard as a spiritual charm, as well as a protection for good luck and 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.

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.

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.
