True Moldavite is known for its olive-green color that ranges from pale and translucent to varying hues of deep forest green with possible streaks of brown. Many times, gas bubbles were trapped when the Moldavite was formed. These bubbles are a very good indication of genuine Moldavite.
Moldavite is a high vibration healing crystal. It resonates with energies that go above and beyond the earthly planes. Most people feel a strong tingling sensation just by holding Moldavite in the hand. That makes your Moldavite piece ideal for meditation.
If you live near a beach, placing it underneath the sand is the best way to activate your Moldavite. Or you can simply leave it on top of your grass in the backyard or in the plant pot.
Moldavite is a powerful aid for meditation and dream-work and can increase the bearer's sensitivity to guidance, intuition and telepathy, and the ability to understand messages sent from higher realms. Moldavite is relatively fragile and should never be cleansed with salt to avoid scratching its surface.
The ideal way to store moldavites is placing them in a softly lined case. They are usually wooden cases whose bottom and lid is the same depth. It is usually lined with polyurethane foam (PU foam) which usually completely fills the inside of the case.
Besednice Moldavites are Moldavites that have been mined from Besednice in the Czech Republic. Besednice Moldavite is often called “hedgehog” because of its spiky “hedgehog” texture and form. It is also known for its lacy, deep sculpted forms.
Crystals that DON'T work together
- Malachite because it is a powerful crystal that is also known to amplify all kinds of energy so it can leave you feeling lower in the dumps.
- Clear quartz as it is an amplifier.
- Cooler colored, light blue stones because these crystals can bring energy down instead of energising.
Stone cold – the 11 most dangerous minerals
- Crocidolite (blue asbestos) Crocidolite, also known as blue asbestos, is considered by many to be the world's most dangerous mineral.
- Erionite.
- K-Feldspar.
- Quartz.
- Pyrite.
They should not be combined. For example, emerald and ruby; yellow sapphire and diamond; and pearl and blue sapphire should never go together.
Again, as long as your crystals are not sensitive to either light or water, you can submerge the crystal in a bowl of sea salt and water and then place it in bright sunlight. The sun will further energize the cleansing water itself, and as the stone becomes cleansed, the sunlight will begin charging the stone.
Warm soapy water is always safe for cleaning garnets.
“A crystal elixir, or crystal-infused water, is a simple yet effective way of working with the healing energy of crystals and gemstones. When pure water is infused with crystal vibrations, it is then charged with the healing properties of the stone, and can be used to promote healing and wellness.”
Since it also absorbs electromagnetic frequencies, tourmaline should be placed near electronics and computers. One of the best ways to clean black tourmaline is to soak it in salt water overnight and then wash it with water and let it soak in sunlight once in a month.
Herkimer diamonds are not actually diamonds, but double-terminated quartz crystals discovered within exposed outcrops of dolomite in and around Herkimer County, New York and the Mohawk River Valley.

Tektites (from Greek τηκτός tēktós, "molten") are gravel-sized bodies composed of black, green, brown, or gray natural glass formed from terrestrial debris ejected during meteorite impacts. The term was coined by Austrian geologist Franz Eduard Suess (1867–1941), son of Eduard Suess.
Amethyst can be safely cleaned with warm soapy water. Ultrasonic cleaners are usually safe except in the rare instances where a stone is dyed or treated by fracture filling. Steam cleaning is not recommended, and amethyst should not be subjected to heat.
Calcite can be either dissolved by groundwater or precipitated by groundwater, depending on several factors including the water temperature, pH, and dissolved ion concentrations. Although calcite is fairly insoluble in cold water, acidity can cause dissolution of calcite and release of carbon dioxide gas.
