Moldavite is one of the most unique and mysterious natural stones, which fascinates collectors, jewelers and lovers of the esoteric. Its rarity, unusual color and legendary origin make Moldavite a real treasure.
Moldavite is a glass-like natural stone with a dark green, olive green or sometimes brownish hue. It belongs to the group of tektites, rocks that form when a meteorite collides with the Earth's surface at high speed, melting the surrounding rocks and creating a unique material.
The name Moldavite comes from the Vltava River (historically known as Moldava) in the Czech Republic, where these stones were first found. They were created about 15 million years ago when a large meteorite hit the territory of Europe, creating the "Nördlinger Ries" crater in Germany. As a result of the collision, the molten rocks were thrown into the air and spread over a wide region, including the territory of the present-day Czech Republic, where they cooled and turned into Moldavite.
Moldavite is associated with ancient legends about the Holy Grail. One of the legends says that it is a jewel that fell from the sky during the heavenly battle between Lucifer and Archangel Michael. The gem fell from Lucifer's crown and is said to have a striking resemblance and magical power to that of Moldavite.
Moldavite carries Earth and otherworldly energy within it, making it a very powerful crystal with a high vibration and able to remove blocks from all chakras. When you hold Moldavite for the first time in your hands, you may experience a feeling of heat or tingling, which is first felt in the hand and then takes over the whole body. Moldavite brings good luck and prosperity, is a good spiritual, fertility and protective talisman. Moldavite is believed to be able to slow down the aging process.

How to recognize a real Moldavite?
Due to its rare nature and attractive cosmic origin, Moldavite is often counterfeited. If you want to make sure that you are buying a real Moldavite, here are some important tips to help you distinguish the original from the imitation:
1. Color
• Natural Moldavite: It has a deep green or olive green color that is often slightly translucent. The color can vary from lighter to darker shades of green and is usually not highlighted by an exaggerated shine.
• Fake Moldavite: Fake stones are often too bright green, artificially uniform or with a glassy sheen.
2. Texture and structure
• Natural Moldavite: It has a unique surface with rough, natural textures, often irregular curves and bubbles, created by the cooling process of the molten rock. Microscopic bubbles or other inclusions may be visible inside.
• Counterfeit Moldavite: A smooth, perfect surface or a completely bubble-free texture indicates an artificial origin. Sometimes fake stones have too smooth, symmetrical shapes.
3. Weight and density
• Moldavite is lighter than ordinary glass because it is formed from molten rock and contains many pores. If the stone seems too heavy for its size, it is probably artificially shaped.
4. Price
• Natural Moldavite: Its rarity means that the price of real Moldavite will be relatively high, especially for larger and higher quality pieces. If the stone is surprisingly cheap, it is probably not authentic.
