How to Use Moldavite in Everyday Life

  1. New crystals need to be activated by being cleansed and charged before they can benefit you. First, cleanse your glassy gem by exposing it to moonlight or sunlight, burning sage, or another crystal like selenite or clear quartz (see here for more complete cleansing instructions) . Then, charge the stone by burying it overnight to absorb earth and moon energy. [1]
    • It’s important to cleanse crystals regularly so that they’re clear of any lingering energy from their previous owner or previous uses. “Crystals do not judge anything as good or bad,” explains hypnotherapist and energy healer Karuna Jain. So, they can hold both positive and negative energies.
    • Alternately, hold your moldavite in your left hand (the hand that receives energy) in the sunlight to simultaneously cleanse and charge it.
  2. Visualize how moldavite will help you heal or accomplish your goals. Hold the crystal and make yourself comfortable in a calm space. Close your eyes and imagine yourself using the moldavite to achieve your desires or overcome adversities in your life. [2]
    • Be specific in your intentions. Vague wants or desires are harder to manifest than focused, distinct outcomes.
    • You don’t have to choose just one thing to get moldavite’s help with. As long as your intentions are genuine, it can help you with all of them.

  3. Moldavite is a high-energy stone that can be overstimulating at first. Many users feel the “moldavite flush”—a warm sensation in your hand that spreads through your whole body—during their first session. It sometimes takes days or weeks to acclimate to the high vibrations, so begin with short moldavite sessions until you’re used to the energy. [3]
    • Your first session might only consist of holding the crystal, feeling the flush, and putting it back down to introduce yourself to its power.
    • As you get more comfortable with the stone, you can lengthen your sessions and begin using it for more specific purposes.
    • Other sensations like tingling chakras, light-headedness or dizziness, or an out-of-body feeling may accompany the moldavite flush.
  4. Moldavite elevates your consciousness and removes mental blocks, so keeping it near you can unlock creativity. Wear, carry, or set it near you while working on a creative project like journaling, painting, or making music. Moldavite helps you awaken your inner truth and express yourself through this type of work. [4]
    • If you’re feeling unproductive at work, place the moldavite crystal on your desk or workspace to help motivate you.
    • If you’re wanting to experience the stone’s energies while on the go, carry a piece of moldavite in your pocket and touch it when you need a boost of creative energy.
  5. Wearing the crystals as jewelry may amplify its benefits and boost your good luck and the likelihood of “coincidences” while you go about your day. Some people may feel overstimulated or ungrounded when they wear it for too long, so it’s best to gradually adapt to wearing it all day long. [5]
    • For the best results, set your moldavite in silver jewelry. Make sure that the stone is touching your skin rather than hanging over a piece of clothing.
    • If you don’t have jewelry, carry moldavite in your purse, backpack, or pocket to get the same effect.
    • Moldavite is most commonly found and used in jewelry, but it can work for you as a standalone stone as well.
  6. Moldavite conducts the energies of renewal, nutrition, and wellness. Keep moldavite in rooms like the kitchen, a child’s room, or a space where you plan to begin a new project to boost their energy and encourage success. It’s also a strong protector against negative energy or bad spirits in your home. [6]
    • Moldavite channels Wood Energy, one of the elements of feng shui. It's associated with living spaces and southeast corners of rooms and houses.
  7. Sleeping with moldavite can help you perform dreamwork, or the skill of healing or gathering insight through dreams. To aid your dreamwork, place moldavite under your pillow or wear moldavite jewelry overnight. The moldavite will keep you centered with loving energy while you sleep and dream. [7]
    • Some people find moldavite too stimulating to use at night, while others only feel the need to use it periodically.
    • Try keeping moldavite on your nightstand or bedside table so you can grab it between dreams to calm or focus your energy if needed.
    • Moldavite’s high vibrations may also ward off negative spirits and nightmares while you sleep.
  8. While meditating or carrying moldavite, hold or wear a second crystal to combine their energies. This approach is considered to be especially effective with other translucent crystals, like quartz. Some popular and powerful crystal combos include:
    • Moldavite and rose quartz: Rose quartz balances the Heart Chakra. It is a love crystal that “helps to bring up the energy of love within your heart,” explains Jain. It also bolsters your sense of kindness, comfort, and self-compassion.
    • Moldavite and clear quartz: Clear quartz is a grounding stone that enhances good energy and opens the Crown Chakra (it also cleanses moldavite!). [8]
    • Moldavite and black tourmaline or obsidian : This combination is ideal for physical healing and medicinal purposes.

  1. Moldavite is useful for contemplation and interpreting spiritual signals. To gain deeper clarity while you meditate , simply hold the stone in your hand or wear moldavite jewelry during your meditation session. Alternatively, place moldavite in the corners of your mindfulness room while you meditate. Your awareness of the spiritual world and your inner consciousness will skyrocket! [9]
    • Gaze at your moldavite’s transparent, glassy surface while concentrating or meditating to increase your communication with the frequencies of the universe.

  2. Moldavite benefits all chakras but has a special connection to the heart. Wear a moldavite necklace that dangles near your heart or hold moldavite to your heart or chest during meditation. As your chakra becomes unblocked, you’ll gain clarity on your personal feelings and desires. [10]
    • The Heart Chakra is green, which is why moldavite and other green gems are useful for opening it up .
    • When your Heart Chakra is blocked, you might feel overly judgmental or dominating in your relationships. These emotions are a good sign that it’s time to unblock your chakra with the help of moldavite.
  3. Moldavite’s spiritual powers may help to soothe and balance the Third Eye and Crown Chakras. Hold your stone to the Third Eye Chakra (located between your eyes) during meditation to unlock new visions, thoughts, and ideas. Meditate on the Crown Chakra (at the crown of your head) to access ascended states of consciousness. [11]
    • When your Crown Chakra is open and balanced, all of your other chakras will open up too.
    • Try taping your moldavite to your forehead during meditation or sleep to heal your Third Eye Chakra.
  4. When manifesting , state your intentions aloud and focus them onto the moldavite crystal. Gaze into the stone while visualizing your desired outcome. The moldavite’s high vibrational energy and creative forces are believed to help transform dreams and intentions into tangible realities.

Moldavite Meaning, Symbolism, & Origins

PDF download Download Article
  1. Moldavite is a rare gemstone with a vivid green color and rich history. It’s believed that the first moldavite stone was formed about 15 million years ago when a meteorite impacted the Earth in the present-day Czech Republic. The heat of this collision melted the sand and rock around the meteorite, catapulting the earth into the air where it cooled into glass that was later named as moldavite. [15]
  2. Due to moldavite’s origins as a meteorite crashing into Earth, it’s been imbued with a sense of mysticism and extra-terrestrial energy. It’s often called the “stone of transformation,” since it’s tied to spiritual awakening, change, and self-discovery. Others call moldavite the “stone of the Holy Grail” due to its connection to spiritual evolution and cosmic powers. [16]
    • In Czech folklore, moldavite is believed to bring good fortune and fertility. It was often used as part of a woman’s dowry gift or as a wedding decoration to bless new marriages.
    • Moldavite’s stunning green color also connects it to the heart chakra (which is often associated with the color green). Followers of spiritualism believe that moldavite has a rare ability to open, activate, and heal the heart. [17]
    • In modern astrology , moldavite is thought to be helpful to all zodiac signs. Since the stone is thought to have come from the stars themselves, it may carry a special energy for each and every zodiac sign.
    • Moldavite is not considered a main birthstone, nor is it associated with any particular month. However, its transformative and fertile qualities (alongside its green hue) make it a natural birthstone for those born in the springtime months (i.e., March, April, and May).

Frequently Asked Questions About the Moldavite Stone

PDF download Download Article
  1. Moldavite exists in very finite quantities, and it’s primarily mined in the Czech Republic. You can buy moldavite from reputable jewelry sellers online or in your area. However, moldavite is one of the rarest, most expensive, and most frequently counterfeited crystals. For these reasons, avoid any price deals that seem too good to be true and make sure to buy from a reputable seller. [18]
  2. One of the key features of a genuine moldavite stone is its lechatelierite inclusions, which look like gas bubbles, swirls, or grains of silica glass embedded into the stone. Real moldavite is often described as having a wavy appearance. Some counterfeiters make fake lechatelierite by etching artificial glass with hydrofluoric acid, but this process is only completed by highly sophisticated counterfeiters. [19]
    • You can also examine the stone’s finish and coloring. Real moldavite has a matte finish, while polished or shiny moldavite is likely a fake (although some counterfeit gems may also have a matte finish).
    • Genuine moldavite crystals will also have a pale olive green tone, while an unnaturally vivid green color may indicate that it’s made from manufactured glass.
  3. Yes, it’s fine for moldavite to get wet, but you should avoid submerging it in liquids or exposing it to water for long periods of time. You can wear your moldavite crystal for short periods in the ocean, pool, or shower without it being deactivated or damaged. Just be sure to wipe your moldavite dry after getting it wet. [20]
  4. Moldavite flush is the term used to describe the intense bodily sensation that some people experience when they first touch a moldavite stone. Many individuals have claimed to feel tingling in their hands, vibrations in their chest, general disorientation, and intense heat flush over their face or entire body. This phenomenon is only believed to happen when a person first touches the stone, and it doesn’t seem to happen to everyone. [21]
    • The moldavite flush, if real, is likely caused by the high vibrations that the crystal is thought to emit.

      Tips

      • Since moldavite is technically a type of glass, it is susceptible to cracking or shattering. Store it in a soft pouch or lined box to keep it safe between sessions.
      • Some people think moldavite is cursed because of its high energy and ability to instigate change very rapidly. However, crystals are thought to be tools that help channel energy—so they can’t be inherently good or bad.
