I find the Properties of Moldavite fascinating (as you may have already gathered). It's not just the shapes and colours, some are smooth and some are prickly. They are all translucent but some of the thick ones need a very strong light behind them before you can see the beautiful green. Depending on the area they come from they can be wafer thin and delicate - like the famous 'hedgehogs' from Besednice, or from Chlum or Vrabrce they may be deeply sculptured.
They are very powerful and I now notice when I receive some new Moldavites that I get a throbbing headache and I feel unbalanced for several hours until, I suppose, I get used to them. You might think this is just coincidence but up until now I would be unlucky if I had a mild headache once every five years or so. Some people get headaches, I never did. Sometimes I feel so off balance I need to walk away from my new arrivals and go somewhere to clear my head. Often when I hold them my head itches, a friend who is Wiccan, says it's my crown chakra opening.
I often hand them around to my friends to see what they feel - some people feel nothing, although I'll often see subtle changes in their personality over the following weeks. For others this crystal has a dramatic effect. I'll get immediate comments like:
- It's really hot
- It's very heavy
- It's very light
- My hand is tingling
- There is a buzz in my hand
- I can feel my heart beating in my hand
- Oh wow, it's travelling up my arm !
- That's weird!
I've had friends break into perspiration immediately, some get a mild headache, my daughter feels ill sometimes - like someone is poking her tummy.
What does it all mean? I really don't know.
Moldavite is also known for its healing and metaphysical properties. Many people also use Moldavite during their meditation to help clear the mind and open the pathways.
When I use Moldavite during a healing session - I'm not too fancy about it. I simply ask the client to hold the stone while we talk, if it's a distance session I place the stone on the table where I imagine their 3rd eye to be and then do the session as if they were there in person. It does make a difference my clients have the most interesting visions while the healing session is performed. Although strictly speaking Reconnective Healing doesn't need any 'extras' to work, it just does.
If you believe in using crystals and gems for healing then I can highly recommend using a Moldavite rough (natural Moldavite). The other reason I'd recommend it is because my collection has got way too big and so I have Moldavite crystals for sale and I have a website so if you are interested in learning more about Moldavite healing properties please visit. My personal preference is for the natural rough gemstone rather than the cut crystal and I rarely have Moldavite jewellery for sale because it's not a personal preference.
Do have a look, you may be surprised at what you find - if your Moldavite is there she (I think of them as female) will talk to you :-).
