r/Moldavite

Got rid of my moldavite and I was led back to it spiritually. The next day my house was destroyed by the swat team

As the title says, yes that really did happen. In 2023 I had just bought a new home and everything was great. 3 months into it my wife cheated. This sent me into a spiral of depression, anxiety, and overall a feeling of being lost. During that time I decided to try to better myself and find myself. I stopped drinking alcohol and adderall and started smoking. That was I believe the start of my spiritual journey. I knew nothing about stones crystals before this.

You know how they say you’re led to moldavite? Here’s how my story began.

One day I matched with a girl on hinge a dating app. We both smoked and one day we decided to go to a place in Atlanta called ponce city market. We smoked in the car, ate at a Mexican restaurant then decided to walk around. She was into the spiritual stuff and all types of conspiracy theories just to show what type of woman she was. We ended up in a place called Modern Mystic iykyk. A beautiful store with all things spiritual.

I didn’t think much of it and while she was checking out, behind the glass counter were a few assorted stones that were much more expensive than everything else in the store. Me back then being ego driven and wanting to show out in front of my date decided to see what the fuss was about. I asked what was moldavite and why was it so expensive. I got the rundown and the consensus was that it’s nothing to play with, it’s for transforming you into your higher self, and it rids you of things that aren’t meant for your growth. Lastly you’re led to it when it’s meant to be.

With all of the circumstances I was newly faced with I said fk it and bout a 2G piece for about $200. That was the start of exactly what it was advertised as.

Over the next year my life went from a high to complete rock bottom, all capped off with me losing my home.

The first 2g piece led me down a rabbit hole of all crystals and learning what they meant, and chakras and healing. Along with that I experimented with mushrooms and acid. Which was something that I couldn’t take and eventually was diagnosed with schizophrenia. All of this I think was sped up by bringing moldavite into my life. These were things that I’d never thought about doing and led to me becoming a better person and finding myself. I lost my ego. My losing my mental caused me to distance myself from all of the people around me and the only ones that stayed during my crisis were the people that needed to be there.

Along the way I ended up grabbing more pieces. A 5g piece. And a 7g piece. I eventually threw the 7g piece as far as I could into the woods one day because it was too strong and I felt that one day someone who needed it would find it. The 2g piece I gifted to a family member, and the 5g piece stayed with me until I felt it was time to really part ways.

The 5g piece at some point during that time became too strong and I got rid of it, but one day my conscious told me to go outside, then go in the garage and look to my left. I did exactly that and the 5g piece was sitting in the corner of the garage and I hadn’t placed it there. That’s when I knew that the things people say about it were real. The last thing that needed to happen for me to elevate was the house. The perfect house that I had got built with my family not even a year before that held so much trauma. Things that I didn’t mention in this drawn out text happened there. The depression. The loneliness. The struggle of having all of the material things I wanted but not being happy.

Long story short, I had got into a bit of trouble during that time and there was a warrant out for my arrest. A misdemeanor, but somehow they decided to bring the swat team to my house. Literally happened the day after I was led back to that piece of moldavite that I had got rid of. The house was destroyed, windows busted out, and a truck ran through the back of it. And I was arrested and sent to finally get help for my mental health.

Now through all of the traumatic experiences that happened that year that ended with me finding my moldavite and being arrested and losing that home, I in all honesty knew what I signed up for when I got it that faithful ego driven day when I said how bad could it be, and no Little Rock was that powerful.

I am more than grateful for the transformation that moldavite brought me. I am not the same person that I was before it. I’m sober, I have a better relationship with my family, my kids are great, I have no ego, I’m back working in my career field, I’m at peace, and just became everything I’ve always wanted to be. It took losing it all and trusting in the unseen that it was all happening for a better purpose. The moldavite just sped up the process. I hope that this helps anyone out who’s on their moldavite journey.

I’ll be glad to share pictures and videos of anything you find in question about things said in this post. A lot was left out but just know the power in that little tektite is real.

Is Rocks2Rings Legit?

I'm thinking of buying a moldavite pendant and wanted to know what everyone else's experience is. I did a sub search and I found a couple of positive comments, but wanted to see if anyone out there had a negative experience. Thanks in advance!

It seems like green glass is popular, costs pennies to makes and is often sold as genuine to those unaware. Many look unconvincing, some are just mislabeled, but the con is on. They're scamming those who have little ability to report or shutdown rotten sellers.

Which online store do you recommend for real moldavites?

u/Significant_Hand_735 — 7 days ago

Is this fake moldavite?

Bought this from a seller on Whatnot. He was selling a ton at below market cost. Did I get scammed?

Did I trap the power of the moldavite? Borosilicate glass pendant and matching beads currently in the works.

Seem real?

Is anyone familiar with Lychee Gems? They have faceted Moldavite although I’m unsure where they are sourced do these seem to look real?

What makes one moldavite more valuable than another

Part 5: Moldavite miniseries by Komixak.

What makes one moldavite more valuable than another?

Not all moldavites are valued the same.

Even stones with the exact same weight can have completely different prices.

Some of the biggest factors are:

👉 Locality:

Certain localities are much rarer or more desirable than others.

👉 Sculpting / texture:

Deep, detailed surface sculpting is usually more appreciated by collectors.

👉 Shape:

Interesting or aesthetic shapes can increase value a lot.

👉 Condition:

Damage, fresh breaks or chips can affect value, although natural ancient breaks are often accepted by collectors.

👉 Size:

Larger pieces are usually rarer, which increases the price per gram.

At the end, every collector values something different 😊

Some people love perfect sculpting, others prefer unusual shapes or large pieces.

That’s part of what makes moldavite collecting so interesting. 💚

What matters most to you when choosing a moldavite? 👀

Part 4: Moldavite mini-series by Komixak

Natural break vs fresh damage:

Not every broken moldavite is damaged recently.

Some moldavites were naturally broken millions of years ago and over time, the surface “healed” through chemical weathering.

👉 Natural ancient breaks:

softer texture

matte / frosty surface

weathered sculpting similar to the rest of the stone

👉 Fresh modern damage:

shiny glasslike surface

sharp edges

smooth fracture with no weathering yet

That’s one of the easiest ways to tell old natural damage from a fresh break.

Naturally separated pieces also don’t always fit together perfectly anymore.

Over time, the fracture changes and develops new texture and sculpting.

This part of the miniseries is mainly for people who are new to moldavites and still learning 😊

I hope it helps a little 💚

There’s no 100% way to tell from photos alone, but there are some clear signs that can help.

👉 1) Natural texture

Real moldavite is never “perfect”

It has irregular shapes, natural sculpting and small imperfections.

If it looks too smooth or too perfect, be careful.

👉 2) Internal structure

Under magnification, real moldavite shows:

tiny bubbles

flow structures

natural chaos inside

(Example photos attached its not mine, but a good reference)

👉 3) Lechatelierite inclusions

Sometimes you can see inclusions of Lechatelierite

these are small, glassy formations created during the impact. (Photos) ideal under microscope or magnification.

They are a strong indicator of authenticity.

👉 4) Fresh breaks vs natural surface

New breaks look smooth and shiny like glass.

Natural surfaces are more textured and “weathered”

Real moldavite isn’t perfect, and that’s exactly what makes it special.

If you’re unsure about a piece, feel free to ask 😊

What’s one thing you check to see if a moldavite is real? 👀

I’ll choose one answer I like and include a small extra piece with your next purchase 💚

I am giving away this very tiny Moldavite pendant at whim! Honestly been having a tough week so I thought I might as well give something away just to keep things moving (certified Moldavite hoarder 🥹). Got some stuff going on in my heart too 😭 Pray for me!!

It is a really tiny Moldavite. The length of the pendant is around 14mm or 0.55in, and the pendant weights 0.75g. May not be much but I am hoping it finds the right person and puts a smile on their face :)

I am located in Canada so this giveaway is only available in Canada and USA. You will only have to pay for shipping and handling. I have spent a decent amount of time making the pendant and taking pictures and also making the listing, so if you are feeling grateful and generous, feel free to make a small tip! It will help pay for my gas towards my next trip to the next upcoming gem show this weekend where I am hoping to grab some more goodies 🥹

Here's a link to my shop where you can find the Moldavite Giveaway Listing

⚠️ UPDATE: It got claimed within a few minutes of me posting this! I didn't think it would go so quick, so if you think I should make some more to give away, let me know!

Do you think I should remove the link next time and have people post there favorite thing about Moldavite (or why they deserve it, or something like that) then pick the best post and give it away to that poster? Open to ideas!! About to make another one soon 😬
