20.01.2022 Moldavite - The gemstone made with a little help from outta-space Mineshaft has 100% genuine and untreated Moldavite set into rings and earrings as well as a couple loose stones that could be used to make jewellery or left as a specimen. Estimated to have occurred about 15 million years ago. Moldavite is believed to be created by a meteor that impacted with enough velocity that it vaporized it's self and surrounding materials. These vapors are ejected back into the up...per atmosphere where they solidify and fell back to earth as solids. Moldavite is only found in the Moldau River Valley in the Czech Republic. Crystal healers often call Moldavite the stone of transformation, with many believing it tends to bring positive life changes in a very accelerated manner. Many crystal healers believe that Moldavite can have an affect on dreams, by allowing the user to access deep levels of your sub-conscious mind while in a lucid dream state. This is said to allow you to work through and heal issues that have been deeply buried and suppressed from your conscious awareness. Moldavite works with the heart chakra and is often used as a chakra balancer.
