Moldavite History
The gemstone was formed in a celestial event when an incoming asteroid was broken into two and impacted Europe from the southwest. They hit with a high enough velocity to melt and splatter the target rock across a strewn field that includes portions of what is now the Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany.
Once Moldavite’s extraterrestrial origin was known, the demand for Moldavite gems grew much faster than the natural material could be found.
Aside from having an immensely charming history, Moldavite gemstone is also equally celebrated for its mighty healing properties. Moldavite healing properties are praised worldwide as it targets all the chakras in the body with the help of its powerful vibration energy. Since prehistoric ages, Moldavite is known for its supreme healing properties and is widely used in jewelry, religious items, lucky charms, and decoratives.

Did You Know?
People who hold Moldavite for the first time most often claim to experience its energy as warmth or heat, usually felt first in one’s hand and then progressively throughout the body. In some cases, there is an opening of the heart chakra which is characterized by strange (though not painful) sensations in the chest, an upwelling of emotion and a flushing of the face. This has happened often enough to have been given a name — the Moldavite flush. However, every individual’s experience with Moldavite is different.
