Moldaviteis an olive-green or dull greenish vitreous substance formed by a meteorite impact. It is one kind of tektite. It was named by A. Dufrnoy from Moldauthein in Bohemia, where it occurs.

It is also widely argued that the moldavite glass was formed 15 million years after the impact of a giant meteorite in present-day Nördlinger Ries. Splatters of rocks that were melted by the impact cooled while they were actually airborne and most fell in central Bohemia - traversed by river Vltava (Moldau in German). As such the glass can be found in the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany.

Quote:
Moldavite has been prized for thousands of years and has long been the gift chosen by European royalty. It is believed by many to have been the green stone in the Holy Grail, which was said to be an emerald that fell from the sky. At least one legend has the Grail carved entirely from moldavite.

Moldavite is the only known tektite with gemstone quality. Nearly everyone is able to feel the energy of moldavite. Many sense it as heat, tingling or a pulsing sensation. Some feel a rush of energy, so using it with another grounding stone is a good idea. It is a "Stone of Communication" and stimulates cooperation and the transfer of energies. Moldavite is said to enhance psychic abilities. It is a very powerful chakra opener and balancer. Moldavite helps to release all that is no longer needed for personal growth: old ideas: leftover emotional habits, whatever you know on a deep level needs to go.
