Moldavite: Properties, History & Healing Power

Moldavite is a dark green, glasslike stone sometimes used in crystal healing.

Origin

• Moldavite is the result of a meteor that hit the Moldau River Valley, in what is now the Czech Republic, millions of years ago.

History and Legend

• Archaeologists have found religious objects made of moldavite dating back to neolithic times; the stone was also a traditional engagement gift in parts of Eastern Europe. Some legends surrounding the Holy Grail say it was a green cup, made of either emerald or moldavite.

Use

• If you use moldavite for healing, wear it as a part of jewelry or otherwise hold on to the stone. Also try placing it over your heart chakra, as green is one of the colors associated with that chakra.

Influences

• Moldavite is said to influence personal transformation, appreciation of the self, spiritual transformation and extraterrestrial contact.

Warning

• Moldavite can elicit an extreme, adverse reaction that includes severe lightheadedness. It is sometimes paired with a stone that has grounding qualities, such as hematite.
