Moldavite

Moldavite is a rare green glass named after the area around the Vltava River, known as the Moldau in German, where the crystals were first found. The stone probably originated in Germany about 15 million years ago after a meteorite impact. This impact created a crater nearly 15 miles wide, in which chemical reactions formed rocks that were deposited miles away. Today, the mineral can be found in sand quarries, where experts say tons of material must be moved to find single crystals. Other names for Moldavite are Water Chrysolite, Bohemian Chrysolite, or Bouteillesteen.

Authentic Moldavite Gemstone

If you want to buy real Moldavite, that can be difficult. The mineral is very rare and it is common to find counterfeited Moldavite, meaning you must be very careful when buying it. There are a number of things to watch out for:

• Price
• Origin
• Appearance

The price of real Moldavite depends on the number of ‘carats’, just like with diamonds. If you see Moldavite for sale at a low price, you are probably dealing with a fake version. Experts also say that the crystal must be found on the banks of the Vltava if it is to be Moldavite stone. So origin also plays a role. Finally, trained crystal inspectors can tell if the stone is the real deal by a few very specific Moldavite properties: bubbles, streamlines, and inclusions.

Moldavite Effect according to Crystal Connoisseurs

Moldavite probably came to Earth from space. Therefore gemologists see the mineral as a tangible form of cosmic power. Some even call it “tears of angels.” According to crystal therapists, Moldavite provides information about the integrity and vitality of body and mind. This mineral could, for example, reflect the user’s:

• immune system
• spiritual growth
• attachment to earthly things

Moldavite and the Symbolism of the Chakras

Green is associated with the heart area for yogis and other chakra enthusiasts. Moldavite gemstone would therefore help yourself and others to be accepting and to make judgements from a place of compassion. Also, this mineral would help to feel love for life as it is. Moreover, because Moldavite is said to have extraterrestrial qualities, many people also believe that it is connected with the Sixth Chakra or Third Eye. According to them, the green glass helps to develop creativity, insight, and intuition.
