Moldavite- ” The Stone That Fell From The Sky”

February 26th, 2010

Of all the different gemstones I have worked with over the past 20 years, Moldavite is the one that has shown me the most dramatic responses from those who hold it. I have witness many first time encounters with Moldavite. What I have noticed when someone is new to the energies of Moldavite is a strong reaction to the stone. Sometimes to the point of the person throwing the stone down as if they can no longer be near its vibration. Sometimes the opposite happens and a person can not let go of the stone because it feels so good, so familiar. Rarely is there no response from Moldavite. One of the more common responses from someone who holds Moldavite for the first time is the experience of warmth or heat, usually felt in the hand then felt throughout the body like a wave. I have seen people become lightheaded and even dizzy while holding Moldavite. Some people have to accustom themselves to the energies of Moldavite, gradually wearing the gemstone, to come to fully appreciate its energy. Moldavite is truly a high vibrational stone.

Moldavite is a tektite found in the Czech Republic. Its often called “the stone that fell from the sky”. There are three theories of how it was formed. One theory suggests that Moldavite is made from an earthly rock melted by the heat of a meteorite crash. Another theory suggests that Moldavite is from extraterrestrial origin, like obsidian ejected by a lunar volcano. A third theory suggests that Moldative is a fusion of meteorite material and rock from the earth that was vaporized in tremendous heat from the impact of the meteor. The heat of the explosion resulted in gas being propelled high into the atmosphere. This gas would have cooled and condensed into a liquid glass, resulting in Moldavite. Regardless of which theory is correct, the fact is that Moldavite was created from tremendous power and did fall from the sky. Moldavite is one of the few tektites that is of gem quality and able to be cut and faceted into beautiful jewelry. To see more Moldavite Jewelry, click here to go to my web site.

Moldavite is a gemstone for transformation on all levels. It can be seen as a catalyst for shifts in one’s life, physical, emotional, or spiritual. It can open and activate all the chakras allowing for powerful activations. It has strong relationship to the heart Chakra. Moldavite is a stone that can help move you forward on your spiritual path to awakening. It can assist one to fully awaken to their highest destiny. Moldavite is a powerful tool for meditation and dreamwork.

If you stuck in a rut, can’t make the changes you know are good for you, or just aren’t sure whats next, Moldavite can assist in moving you into the next highest place. Its a powerful allay for these changing times.

Falling In Love With Rose Quartz- A Heart Chakra Meditation

February 1st, 2010
 Over the past several weeks I immersed  myself in heart chakra stones. I wanted to put together a collection of Heart Chakra jewerly as part of my Valentine’s day jewelry sale. I took out all of my pink gemstone beads and began designing Heart opening necklaces.  The more I worked with Rose Quartz the more I feel in love with this stone all over again.   All pink and green stones are Heart Chakra stones. There are many pink and green gemstones in the mineral kingdom and I have a vast collection of  these heart stones.  It is easy to over look the lovely soft Rose Quartz.  As I worked with Rose Quartz I began to connect once again to its amazing energies.
While the vibration of Rose Quartz is soft and gentle, it is also very powerful.  This stone reminds us that love begins with ourselves. Rose Quartz is all about self love and self nurturing.
 
Meditating with rose quartz can help to release emotional wounds that hold our hearts closed. Its softness allows us to slowly and delicately look at the hurts we experience and one by one let it go and open back to love. Meditating with Rose Quartz gives us the opportunity to be surrounded in love energy. Here is a short meditation using the Gemstone Rose Quartz.
 
While laying down, place a Rose Quartz on your Heart Chakra.  Close your eyes and breath slowly and deeply, quieting the mind.  Begin to feel the vibration of the Rose Quartz on your Heart Chakra. Visualize the color pink.  Begin at your feet and slowly move the soft pink color up and over your body until your whole body is bathed in the loving, compassionate and peaceful energy that is Rose Quartz.  Allow yourself several minutes to be in this calm and loving space. When you feel ready place both your hands over the stone as it sits on your Heart Chakra and once again become aware of your breath. With each in breath, breathe in the loving energy of the Rose Quartz, with each out breath, breathe out hurt, fear, worry or any other emotion that is blocking your heart.  Do this several times until you begin to feel a peacefulness, a calm throughout your body.  You can say to yourself, I am love, I am loved, repeat several times.  When you feel ready, place your hands down by your sides and feel love, feel your heart warm and open to receive all the love that is here for you.  When you feel ready open your eyes and give yourself a great big hug.
 
Rose Quartz can help us open to receive love from ourselves and others.  Do you have difficulty being kind to yourself?  This is your stone.
This Valentine’s day fall in love with yourself. Let Rose Quartz remind you to do something just for you.
