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.

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.

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.

The strong supernatural properties that the gems hold, as well as the easy energy that it carries, makes it a good stone for most people to connect to. It keeps negative energy at bay and helps the user to separate from unhealthy relationships.
