Moldavite is a heavenly stone that fell appr. 14 million years B.C. to earth. are mostly found in Bohemia near the Austrian Czech border. Some were found in Moravia, Lausitz in Germany and close to Radessen in Austria.
Name:
The term moldavite was coined in 1836 by the German curator of the mineralogical collection in the Vlasteneck Museum in Prague Dr. Franz Xaver Maximilian Lippe . The name moldavite is derived from the German name 'Moldau' for the Moldavian river. Around 1826, they were called Bohemian emerald. Moldavites are probably the only tektites made into gemstones because of their coloration and gloss. Moldavites are used as jewels for kings, "VIP's" and/or political, social or religious leaders.

Mythology:

In Wolfram von Eschenbach's version of the grails legend the moldavite is considered to be the Grail - the "lapsit exillis" - a green gemstone that fell from heaven out of a crown of an higher ranking angel.

The concept of the Grail is the mystic bowl that received the fruit of the vine- wine of the Last Supper and the spilled Blood from crucifixion of the Son of god. moldavite assists advanced light work. Channels cosmic light rays and resonancy to earth, man and civilization.

This cosmic stone directs you rapidly to Self realization and enhances such self transformation..

Moldavite may assist you to transform yourself to the highest level of Personality and may allow you to radiate God's power!
