Buy Moldavite – A look into the depths of the mineral

• Chemical composition: Moldavite is a silicate glass with elements such as silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, iron oxide, potassium oxide, and more, depending on the location.

• Color: Typical is a transparent to translucent moss green to olive green.

• Line color: Colorless

• Shine: Glass shine

• Mohs hardness: 5.5 – 7

• Cleavage: None

• Fracture: Conchoidal, brittle

Moldavite is not a classic mineral in the strict sense, but rather a tektite—a naturally occurring glass formed by the heat of a meteorite impact. This phenomenon makes moldavite particularly unique among crystals and gemstones .

Most important sites worldwide

The best-known and highest-quality moldavite comes from the so-called "Czech strewn field" in southern Bohemia, around the town of České Budějovice (Budweis). Other, far rarer, deposits are found in Saxony (Germany) and western Slovakia. The origin of all moldavites, however, is the same: a massive meteorite impact approximately 14.7 million years ago in what is now the Nördlinger Ries region of Bavaria. The energy released liquefied rock, which was hurled into the atmosphere and spread as far as the Czech Republic, where it solidified into moldavite.

Meaning in different cultures

Moldavite was already being crafted into amulets and tools in the Paleolithic era. In esoteric literature and modern crystal healing, moldavite is often described as a "stone of transformation" or "star stone." Especially in spiritual circles, it is considered a conduit to higher levels of consciousness, helping to release karmic blockages and promote spiritual growth. In Asian cultures, moldavite is associated with spiritual enlightenment and inner balance.

Moldavite is used as a water stone only with great caution and for short periods of time, as its composition makes it sensitive to water and temperature fluctuations. It is more commonly used for energy recharging with rock crystal or by placing it on the chakras.
