Moldavite is a rare, mysterious, powerful stone known for its ability to spark personal growth and transformation—how do you use such a crystal? While its energy is noticeably higher than many stones, working with moldavite is largely the same as any other crystal work. We’ve put together a handy list of ways to use moldavite to make the most of its unique properties. If you’re ready to put this beautiful, glassy, green gem to work, keep scrolling!

Things You Should Know

Use moldavite for deep dream work or shadow work. It can also be used to open your heart, third eye, and crown chakras.
Always cleanse and activate your moldavite before use.
Pair moldavite with clear quartz, rose quartz, obsidian, or black tourmaline for especially potent effects.

1

Activate your moldavite before use.

New crystals need to be cleansed and charged before they benefit you. First, cleanse your glassy gem by exposing it to moonlight or sunlight, burning sage, or clearing it with selenite or clear quartz. Then charge it by burying it overnight to absorb earth and moon energy.^{[1]

- It’s important to cleanse new crystals so they’re clear of any lingering energy from their previous owner. Crystals do not judge anything as good or bad, so they can hold not only positive, but also negative energy.
- Alternately, hold your moldavite in your left hand (the hand that receives energy) in the sunlight to simultaneously cleanse and charge it.

2

Program it with a clear intention.

Visualize how moldavite will help you heal or accomplish your goals. Hold the crystal and make yourself comfortable in a calm space. Close your eyes and imagine yourself using the moldavite to achieve your desires or overcome adversities in your life.^{[2]

- Be specific in your intentions. Vague wants or desires are harder to manifest than focused, distinct outcomes.
- You don’t have to choose just one thing to get moldavite’s help with. As long as your intentions are genuine, it can help you with all of them.

3

Work with moldavite in short sessions at first.

Moldavite is a high energy stone that can be overstimulating at first. Many users feel the “moldavite flush”—a warm sensation in your hand that spreads through your whole body—during their first session. It takes days or weeks to acclimate to the high vibrations, so begin with short moldavite sessions until you’re used to the energy.^{[3]

- Your first session might only consist of holding the crystal, feeling the flush, and putting it back down to introduce yourself to its power.
- As you get more comfortable with the stone, you can lengthen your sessions and begin using it for more specific purposes.
- Other sensations like tingling chakras, light-headedness or dizziness, or an out-of-body feeling accompany the moldavite flush.

4

Keep moldavite nearby to unlock creativity.

Moldavite elevates your consciousness and removes mental blocks. Wear, carry, or sit it near you while you work on a creative project, like journaling, painting, or making music. Moldavite helps you awaken your inner truth and express yourself through this type of work.^{[4]

- Creative work is often very healing and good for balancing your chakras and spiritual energy.

5

Use moldavite to deepen your meditation.

Moldavite is useful for contemplation and interpreting spiritual signals. To gain deeper clarity while you meditate, simply hold it in your hand or wear moldavite jewelry during your meditation session. Your awareness of the spiritual world and your inner consciousness will skyrocket.^{[5]

- Gaze at your moldavite’s transparent, glassy surface while concentrating or meditating to increase your communication with the frequencies of the universe.

6

Meditate with moldavite for shadow work.

Shadow work puts you in touch with your hidden or repressed self. To explore the shadows that hold you back, hold your moldavite or place it near you and meditate on your fears, hesitations, or traumas. The stone will bring these parts of you to light so you can heal and transform.^{[6]

- Moldavite is called the stone of transformation because it helps you access your inner thoughts to experience spiritual growth and personal development.
- Shadow work often feels uncomfortable since most of us try to resist change and stay our familiar selves. Embrace the opportunity for change and growth.

7

Sleep with it to perform dreamwork.

Dreamwork is the skill of healing or gathering insight through dreams. To aid your dreamwork, place moldavite under your pillow or wear moldavite jewelry overnight. The moldavite will keep you centered with loving energy while you sleep and dream.^{[7]

- Some people find moldavite too stimulating to use at night while others only feel the need to use it sometimes.
- Try keeping moldavite on your nightstand or bedside table so you can grab it between dreams to calm or focus your energy, if needed.
- Moldavite’s high vibrations also ward off negative spirits and nightmares while you sleep.

8

Open your Heart Chakra with moldavite.

Moldavite benefits all chakras, but has a special connection to the heart. Wear a moldavite necklace that dangles near your heart or hold moldavite to your heart or chest during meditation. As your chakra becomes unblocked, you’ll gain clarity on your personal feelings and desires.^{[8]

- The Heart Chakra is green, which is why moldavite and other green gems are useful for opening it up.
- When your Heart Chakra is blocked, you might feel overly judgmental or dominating in your relationships.

9

Use it to open the Third Eye and Crown Chakras.

Moldavite’s spiritual powers soothe and balance the upper chakras. Hold your stone to the Third Eye Chakra (located between your eyes) during meditation to unlock new visions, thoughts, and ideas. Meditate on the Crown Chakra (at the crown of your head) to access ascended states of consciousness.^{[9]

- When your Crown Chakra is open and balanced, all of your other chakras will open up too.
- Try taping your moldavite to your forehead during meditation or sleep to heal your Third Eye Chakra.^{[10]

Wear moldavite jewelry throughout the day.

Wearing moldavite keeps you shrouded in its high-vibration field. This amplifies its benefits and boosts your good luck and “coincidences” while you go about your day. Some people may feel overstimulated or ungrounded when they wear it for too long, so it’s best to gradually adapt to wearing it all day long.^{[11]

- For the best results, set your moldavite in jewelry made of silver. Make sure it’s touching your skin rather than hanging over a piece of clothing.^{[12]

- If you don’t have jewelry, carry moldavite in your purse, backpack, or pocket to get the same effect.
- Moldavite is most commonly found and used in jewelry, but it can work for you as a standalone stone as well.

11

Magnify other crystals’ energies.

Moldavite amplifies other crystals, which balances its own high energy. While meditating or carrying moldavite, hold or wear a second crystal to combine their energies. This is especially effective with other translucent crystals, like quartz. Some popular and powerful crystal combos are:^{[13]

- Moldavite and rose quartz: rose quartz balances the Heart Chakra. It is a love crystal that helps bring up the energy of love within your heart. It also bolsters your sense of kindness, comfort, and self-compassion.
- Moldavite and clear quartz: clear quartz is a grounding stone that enhances good energy and opens the Crown Chakra (it also cleanses moldavite!).
- Moldavite and black tourmaline or obsidian: this combination is ideal for physical healing and medicinal purposes.^{[14]

Display moldavite in your home for well-being.

Moldavite was formed by a meteor impact about 15 million years ago, so it exists in finite quantities. This makes it expensive and one of the most counterfeited crystals. Make sure to buy from a reputable seller to get the real deal.^{[18]
