Moldavite is the only gemstone known (so far) that is not entirely of this Earth. Moldavite is a natural glass created by a meteorite strike, though there is some dispute as to whether Moldavite is part of the Meteorite (and therefore purely extraterrestrial in origin) or whether it is an impact glass created by the huge forces released when the Meteorite struck the surface of the earth (and therefore part extraterrestrial, part earth-stone). This magically and spiritually potent, mossy green stone was created more than 14 million years ago. It is found at only one impact site on the planet and is quite rare.

The energy of this stone is very powerful and much has been written about it in recent years, perhaps because of its strange, vibrant power. Moldavite has a strong energetic field and seems to 'pulse' in your hand when you hold it. Crystal workers believe that it can accelerate spiritual development and help you make conscious contact between the higher and lower self. In meditation it pierces the veil between the worlds, opens communication with spirit guides and deities and encourages visions of higher planes.

In folklore Satan's crown was said to be made of Moldavite, which melted as he fell to Earth. In another legend the Holy Grail was carved from this stone. Moldavite is known as the Star-Born Stone of Transformation but its power should be used with great care. If you ask this stone to help you change your life then be prepared for the changes! Its effects can be dramatically transformative and if necessary Moldavite can turn your life upside down in order to set you back on the right path.
