Moldavite - the Extraterrestrial Stone
|
|
|
|
This stone is sometimes called the Crystal from Outer Space or the
Stone that Fell to Earth, to reflect its putatively extraterrestrial
origins.
It is found only in the Moldau Valley in the Czech Republic, the result
of a meteor strike some millions of years ago. The crystal is
translucent and a clear green color, darker than peridot, and of a
slightly 'olive' shade. Some people believe the crystal is
extraterrestial in origin, while most generally hold that it originated
from indigenous rocks heated by the strike, and combines both
terrestrial and extraterrestrial components.
In healing, moldavite can be used to make one aware of the cause of an
illness.
Metaphysically, moldavite helps the bearer or wearer to establish a
cosmic spiritual connection and also loosens dependence on or
connection to material things. It is considered supportive if you need
to let go of old ideas. For this reason, it can possibly be damaging to
established relationships if you staying in them out of habit or fear.
Magickally, moldavite can be used for heavy protection spells and (not
surprisingly) for astral travel.
Moldavite is a very beautiful stone, both rough and cut. Be warned,
however - because of the nature of its 'production' and a fairly
limited worldwide supply, it is not cheap.
