The Healing Properties of Moldavite
Moldavite is a rare and intriguing green tektite, often considered a gemstone, that is believed to have formed about 15 million years ago as a result of a meteorite impact in central Europe.
Specifically, the impact occurred in what is now the Ries Crater in Germany, and the intense heat and pressure of the collision melted terrestrial material, which was then ejected into the atmosphere and cooled into unique glassy formations as it fell back to Earth.
Characteristics of Moldavite:
- Color: Typically a deep olive green, mossy green, or brownish-green.
- Texture: Moldavite often has a rough, etched surface, though some pieces are smooth. This texture results from natural weathering and etching over millions of years.
- Transparency: High-quality Moldavite can be translucent, with a glassy appearance.
- Composition: Primarily composed of silica, with traces of aluminum, iron, and other elements.
Spiritual and Metaphysical Beliefs:
Moldavite has long been associated with mystical and metaphysical properties. Many believe it:
- Enhances spiritual growth: Moldavite is said to accelerate personal and spiritual evolution.
- Stimulates transformation: It is often used as a tool for deep emotional healing and releasing old patterns.
- Boosts intuition: Many claim it strengthens intuition and psychic abilities.
- Connects to higher realms: Some see it as a stone of extraterrestrial energy due to its origin.
- Collecting: Due to its rarity and unique origin, Moldavite is sought after by collectors.
Moldavite is increasingly rare, as it is found only in limited areas of Europe, primarily the Czech Republic. Prices for Moldavite can vary significantly depending on the size, quality, and authenticity of the piece. Fake Moldavite is common in the market, so purchasing from reputable sources is crucial.
Moldavite is softer than many gemstones (5.5 on the Mohs scale) and can be scratched or chipped easily. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and clean it gently with mild soap and water.
