HISTORY and OVERVIEW 

Moldavite is a forest green, gravel sized tektite glass formed by a meteorite impact in Germany that occurred 15 million years ago.  The impact of the meteorite melted material and launched it into the air which cooled and solidified it.  In 1900, Franz Suess attributed Moldavites highly textured pitting and wrinkled surface  to pervasive etching by naturally occurring CO2 and humic acids present in groundwater.

Moldavite was first named "Chrysolites" when it was introduced to scientists in 1786.   The name Moldavite was first used in 1836 after the Moldau river in Czech Republic where the first pieces where discovered.  

It's been used since the Stone Age as a talisman.  Many people believe it came to our planet to aid earths transition and healing and that now is the time to use Moldavites energies wisely.  

The energy of Moldavite is so powerful that holding Moldavite can feel overwhelming, it can cause nausea, dizziness and a feeling of warm energy going through your body.  This is so common it's known as "The Moldavite Flush", this is believed to be the change in energy within us causing transformation, or major shifts in life.  If this happens to you try using it with a strong grounding stone like Black Tourmaline, or gradually building up to using it for longer amounts of time to allow your energy to balance with your piece of Moldavite.
