How do you react to it?

Anything else special about it?

I have a cut moldavite I bought a few years back from a catalog...cant remember which one...i had a jeweler put it in a setting for me....It is a soft stone and I am rough on my rings...so unfortunately I chipped it...but I still have it on and wear it...I have heard that they come from another galaxy? or something like that....originally I had it set with two herkimer diamonds but the setting didn`t work well.. so the jeweler took  the herkimers out and kept the molavite alone....I like it a lot...kinda looks like an emerald but much softer....

It's the only stone that has extraterrestrial and earth energies. It was formed where a meteorite hit the earth.

I put mine in a spiral with garnets. Hate that people touch it, but everybody does!

At first I could not wear mine all the time. My body felt as if it vibrated! Now I can't go without!

I was drawn to the one i have...a friend of mine has a rock shop and she had some but those didn`t appeal to me as much as this one did....there is some depth to it too which the photo didn`t capture

It's beautiful!Got goose bumps... Maybe from it's brother greeting from my neck..

I waited 3 years for mine. I get bored easily with stuff and promised myself if I keep up with my crystal "hobby" I would buy myself one someday. And then I had to wait for one I could afford. Once a year we have a week long Afrikaans fest and it came to me via the craft market.

Good things come to those who wait!

oh yes indeed...crystals are drawn to us as much as we are drawn to them...timing is everything......yours exudes a nice energy ...I feel it from the picture....  so is there one particular area where these are found? or are they wide spread?

It's from Czech Republic, Germany and Moldova, but now only found along the banks of Moldau and soon to be extinct. Alot of green glass sold as Moldavite so be carefull.

I did some searching on the net and found that Arians are best suited for this stone.

The information I have is that Moldavite is not extraterestial in the true sense, but is created when a meteor strikes earth, the impact zone melts into glass-like substance and is thrust into the atmosphere and falls back. Look at how when milk drops drip into a bowl of milk, the slow motion action shows the milk splashing up then falling back again.
Imagine that happening with the great heat of a meteor impacting earth and the melting down of the surrounding ground.
I think the hardness of Moldavite is the same as for Obsidian, another glass material made during volcanic action when the earth is melted and flows or is erupted into the atmosphere.
Tectites, Australites, various types of Obsidian, Moldavite (named after the areas they come from) and similar "instantaneous" mineralogy/gemstones are from earth, not from outer space, but were thrust into outer space with volcanic explostions or meteor impacts.
I've seen small pea size balls of glassy material that have a spiral of bubbles inside them, something that cannot possibly be man-made, and they are all found in the same small area, no where else around... a geologist said they probably rained down from a volcanic eruption somewhere when the "cloud" was blown closer to earth.
Any jewellery made with Moldavite should be pendants only, safe around the neck with no bumps possible because the material is very fragile.
Hope this information is helpful.
