It measures 23.3 x 14.5 x 7.7mm and shows the classic bottle-green color with deep natural etchings. Thicker moldavite lets less light through, but this piece still has good translucency for its thickness. It has a desirable shape and is completely natural and untreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoldavite is a natural glass called a tektite, created about 15 million years ago by a meteorite impact at the Ries crater in Germany. The melted rock from that impact cooled in flight and landed to the east in what is now the Czech Republic. Over millions of years underground, carbon dioxide and humic acids in the groundwater slowly etched the glass, and pieces with deep, well-defined etching like this one are the most sought after on the open market.\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). With its substantial weight, this piece makes an excellent holding stone for meditation or a central altar stone, and it can also be wire wrapped or set into a statement jewelry piece.\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 piece of 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 (good light transmission for a thicker piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.741 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23.3 x 14.5 x 7.7mm\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.
