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.

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.

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.

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.
