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]XResearch source}
- 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.

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]XResearch source}
- 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.

Wear moldavite jewelry throughout the day.

Download Article

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]XResearch source}
- 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]XResearch source}
- 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.

Some people think moldavite is cursed because of its high energy and ability to instigate change very rapidly. However, crystals are just tools to help channel energy and can’t be inherently good or bad.

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]XResearch source}
