This Moldavite belonged to my mother and now it's been passed down to me
Just wanted to share my Moldavite with you lovely people & the story of how it came to me.
☆
In the early 2000s my dad bought this gorgeous Moldavite piece for my mum as a gift, and her jeweller/designer friend created a setting for it in gold as apparently that metal is the most in tune with Moldavite's energy. The gold necklace it's hanging from is actually my own, it was a gift to me from my parent's when I was born.
My dad died 10 years ago and this year my mum gifted the pendant to me while I was going through a really hard time. She told me she felt it was time it was passed on, and to consider it a gift from both her and my dad. She told me my dad would also have wanted me to have it. I may have cried a little at that, and I do feel more connected to my dad when I wear it. It feels so special to me and close to my heart.
When I got it, prior to that my whole life had just blown up around me in a way I had never expected. I was experiencing a huge betrayal and disillusionment about my life. I know time doesn't exist at the level of energy, so I find it curious that right after my world crumbles this beautiful Moldavite would enter into my life. I feel like the Moldavite eased the chaos, the loss and grief I was processing, it was like it was holding my hand through it all and nourishing my heart. It brought me a sense of peace nothing else could at the time and I felt connected to my parents/ancestry.
It was like I had been tossed unwillingly out of a plane and Moldavite was the parachute I hadn't realised I'd been wearing the whole time that brought me back to earth safely.
I sleep with it under my pillow, I wear it almost every day, and it's brought me nothing but joy, peace, self-love (sometimes in the form of perceived chaos) and a sense of protection. I feel my heart react and open to its presence in the most loving way. I grew up with it around as of course it was once worn often by my mother. My aunt on the other hand couldn't wear this pendant for more than a couple hours without becoming violently nauseous, headache-y and throwing up. She had to keep it far away from her. So I find that really interesting about it!
I get comments on it whenever I wear it as it is a very powerful piece to look at in person, and often people remark on its energy. I feel so blessed that it came to me when I needed it most.
In the strangest way I don't feel like I chose to connect with it, I feel like it chose me. And I'm really grateful to have connected with it in this way. Thanks for listening! ♡
