It measures 19.5 x 17.7 x 5mm, so it's nearly as wide as it is long, which gives it a broad, balanced shape that shows off the sculpting well. Hold it up to a window and you'll see great translucency, with light passing easily through the glass. This piece is completely natural and has not been cut, polished, or treated in any way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoldavite is a tektite, a natural glass formed by a meteorite impact. About 15 million years ago, a large meteorite struck what is now the Ries crater in southern Germany, and the heat of the impact melted the surface rock and threw it into the air, where it cooled into glass and fell across parts of the present-day Czech Republic. The deep sculpting you see on this piece formed afterward, as the glass stayed buried for millions of years and was slowly etched by carbon dioxide and natural acids in the groundwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece comes from the Chlum and Vrábče localities in South Bohemia, part of the Czech strewn field, which is the area where moldavite landed after the impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT THIS STONE IS USED FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the stone medicine space, moldavite is known as a stone of transformation, and it's one of the most sought-after stones in the holistic practitioner world. In the vibrational framework I use, moldavite is a heart chakra stone because of its green frequency (described below). Its broad, flat shape is well suited to wire wrapping or setting into a pendant, and it rests comfortably on the heart during a body layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also hold this moldavite during meditation, place it on the heart in a grid or body layout, keep it on your altar, use it for making stone medicine elixirs, or tuck it into a dream pouch to sleep with. It's also a great piece to have in a rare stone, tektite, or meteorite collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVIBRATIONAL PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e This moldavite embodies the green frequency. The green frequency stimulates the pituitary gland, builds muscles and tissues, clears diseased cells, decongests the lungs, and eliminates germs and bacteria. It is the safest and most balanced clearing frequency in the vibrational spectrum, cleansing, detoxifying, and dissolving detrimental vibrations from the energy field. Salt carries a strong green vibration, which explains its long-standing use for purifying and preserving foods, spaces, and materials. Green marks the balance point of the visible light spectrum and the equilibrium of the manifested world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMINERAL TYPE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moldavite (tektite)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFORMATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural raw moldavite (uncut, unpolished)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic bottle green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRANSPARENCY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Translucent (great light transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.374 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.5 x 17.7 x 5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chlum \/ Vrábče, South Bohemia, Czech Republic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTREATMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (no cutting, polishing, heat, or dyes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHARDNESS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 (Mohs scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREFRACTIVE INDEX (RI):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.48-1.54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFIC GRAVITY (SG):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.32-2.38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCRYSTAL SYSTEM:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amorphous (natural glass, non-crystalline)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCHEMICAL COMPOSITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silica-rich natural glass, SiO₂ (+Al₂O₃)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ HAND-SELECTED AND VIBRATIONALLY TESTED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis moldavite has been personally sourced and tested by Ashley Sohl, Ph.D. candidate, GIA-trained gemologist, and originator of archetypal stonework.
