Moldavite has always been a popular crystal; it’s one that can improve your life significantly.
If you’re just starting to hear about Moldavite now, there’s a good chance the Universe wants to move you in the right direction.
But a lot of people are apprehensive to try Moldavite first (some even believe Moldavite is a dangerous stone).
To ease your fears, we’re going over 7 Moldavite effects and how to counteract/avoid each one. Knowing which effects you may encounter will help you feel confidents while using Moldavite.

7 major Moldavite effects
1. Moldavite may feel warm and vibrate the first time you use it
Many people report a warm vibrating sensation in their hands when holding Moldavite for the first time. Since Moldavite came from a meteorite colliding with the Earth in a fiery explosion, it contains a lot of energy.
People even speculate that those warm vibrations are from the actual collision and because the collision was so powerful, they continue on today (although this has never been proven).
How to avoid this Moldavite effect: This effect is hard to avoid, but it’s not dangerous. Moldavite won’t burn you. If you don’t like this sensation, you can try placing Moldavite in a cloth bath and holding it while it’s in the bag. The bag acts as a barrier and can stop it from warming your skin.
2. Moldavite might make you feel lightheaded and nauseated
Moldavite’s high vibrations pull you up fast. Those who have high vibrations to begin with might not notice this and won’t feel lightheaded. But if you’re going through a tough time and suffer from low vibrations, you’ll notice the change in your vibrational energy.
Here’s the best way to describe this feeling: have you ever been on the sling-shot ride at festivals that shoots you up into the air? The sudden change from being on ground level to flying through the air often makes people feel lightheaded and/or sick to their stomachs. But many love the feeling, as the ride is incredibly popular! That’s kind of how Moldavite is. Just enjoy the ride 🙂
How to avoid this Moldavite effect: Use a grounding stone like Hematite or Black Tourmaline with Moldavite to keep you grounded.
3. You may experience a racing heart
Because Moldavite works primarily on the Heart chakra, your heart may race when you use Moldavite. If you’ve done lots of Heart chakra work in the past, there’s a higher chance you won’t feel this Moldavite effect.
However, if your Heart chakra is blocked, Moldavite might try to rapidly unblock it which is why you might feel a racing heart.
How to avoid this Moldavite effect: There are a couple of things you can do. First, use Heart chakra stones before using Moldavite to unblock and align your Heart chakra.
Next, meditate for 30 minutes prior to using Moldavite. Meditation lowers your heart rate and the benefits of meditation extend beyond your session.
4. You can have hot flashes
Usually, hot flashes follow a racing heart. There’s a good chance if your heart begins to race while using Moldavite you’ll also feel hot flashes.
How to avoid this Moldavite effect: Citrine is a great crystal to help with hot flashes. If you begin to experience them, meditate with Citrine. You can also run yourself a spiritual cleansing bath (on the cool side) to help you cool down and keep your mind open.
5. Your dreams may become more vivid (and sometimes turn into nightmares)
Moldavite’s energy can carry into your subconcious as well when you are sleeping! Some people enjoy having vivid dreams—when they’re pleasant—but when your dreams turn into nightmares, they might not be as enjoyable anymore.
How to avoid this Moldavite effect: If your Moldavite stone is causing you to have distressing dreams, make sure it’s moved away from your bed (preferably in another room) and is not sitting on anything wooden. Wood amplifies Moldavite and can make its effects on you stronger.
If you continue to have unpleasant sleeps, grab some of these crystals for sleeping and keep them on your nightstand.
6. You might experience an emotional release
Moldavite can open all your chakras in a powerful way which is often accompanied by a flood of emotions. It’s similar to emotional releases achieved by chiropractors.
How to avoid this Moldavite effect: If you experience an emotional release using Moldavite, you needed it. We don’t recommend trying to prevent this as it can be very healthy. If, however, you find yourself crying more than normal for an extended period of time, it might be that your Moldavite is too strong. Take a break and only use your Moldavite stone for a couple of minutes per day, and use a grounding stone, like Black Tourmaline, along with it.
7. You can experience pain in different areas of your body
Hold up, can Moldavite physically hurt you? Because for many, that’s a deal-breaker. Let’s learn some more about the physical aches Moldavite can bring you.
Moldavite begins to work on areas where there are energy blockages. If you have lots of blockages or maybe a particular blockage is hard to eliminate, the opening up of them might cause slight discomfort.
But let’s go back to the pain…will this hurt? No. You will not feel searing pain—Moldavite will not hurt you—but you may feel aches in certain areas. For example, if your Third Eye chakra is blocked you may feel a headache as Moldavite opens it up.
So although Moldavite can definitely cause some physical symptoms at first, you’re not going to be in terrible pain.
How to avoid this Moldavite effect: Again, we don’t recommend trying to avoid this. Unblocking your chakras is normal and important for your spiritual health.
Should you be scared of Moldavite effects?
A lot of people hold off using Moldavite because they are petrified what Moldavite effects will come their way.
But there’s no need to be scared. You may feel discomfort, but like Robin Sharma says “If you’re not scared a lot, you’re not doing very much.” Big life changes can elicit fear, but that doesn’t mean you need to shy away from using Moldavite.
That being said, Moldavite can work differently on different types of people. Before using Moldavite, make sure you’re in a good state of mind.

It’s impossible to predict how Moldavite will work for you but here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Moldavite will never harm you or hurt those you love in anyway
- Moldavite will never put you at risk
- Moldavite doesn’t give you diseases or lasting health issues
Before using your Moldavite, make sure to activate your Moldavite first. With proper activation, Moldavite is less likely to work on areas of your life where you don’t want massive change (unless that change is necessary).

Wow after reading this, I’m azure that my first experience with Moldovite now I can understand it
I had read about Moldovite but I said to me I was not ready for this stone, time pass and one day it was there… like calling me, so I ask myself do I’m ready and Yes I was ready I got the stone, so my first night with Moldovite in my house, went to bed and place it in my stand next to me, around 3 am I got this sharp pain in my pubic area and couldn’t sleep at all after cus they were coming and going, I was like that the hole day in bed with this sharp pains coming and going
After that the next day I was like nothing happened
Now I believe my Moldovite did his work on me unblock a lot of things
I have so much respect for this stone now is sitting on a grid surrounded of clear quartzs
I love this stone of mine
I don’t own any Moldavite in the physical world but I do in other realms. My spirit guide gave it to me as a gift in a meditation and I have had three separate dreams where Moldavite was either given to me or I found it. Any ideas as
to what this might mean?
That’s very cool, Rhian! Perhaps it’s a nudge that Moldavite would benefit you in the physical world.
I agree, if your guides have given you pieces in other realms, then I would most definitely take that as a clear indication that Moldavite is and apparently has been calling to you for quite a time now dear, just be ready bc everything “they” lol 😉 say about Moldavite it all happen to me I honestly did not believe a stone could or would affect me the way my tiny piece did, if you have time and want a good laugh I posted about it in the comments. But yes I absolutely believe that is a screaming sign for you to have Moldavite here and now with you! Wishing the best and much love, light and peace always dear.
Blessed Be 🤍 🖤

Ive been reading up on and wanting a Moldavite for quite a while, but haven’t been able to find any unless its very expensive. I am currently off work with PTSD so I’m thinking this is the time to get some and help me heal…
Sorry to hear about your current work circumstances and I hope very soon it very much improves for you dear one, and yes moldavite is expensive BUT after 8 months of searching I came across a very very tiny piece set as a setting in a sterling silver ring shipped to me for under 20 bucks, and my piece for me is just a great if not better than all those huge, pricey expensive ones put together. Just trust in divine timing bc your piece is most likely headed your way, after all you heard it call for you, that was the 1st step, it took me 8 very long months of searching websites, even Facebook marketplace until one day I saw it and I knew that was it, that was my Moldavite that I first heard calling me 8 months back.
Healing no matter what may have caused your wounds is never easy, but I hope you see you have already began healing and for that I’m happy for you and proud of you as well. Hang in there dear one. You will be enjoying your Moldavite dance before you know it!! I hope you enjoy my dear. And always sending you much needed Love, Light peace and healing.
Blessed Be 🤍 🖤

I am really excited to get Moldavite, I ended a 3 years relationship almost a year ago and I feel ready to feel free and give my spiritual side more, I’e always been atracted to crystals and meditation. Can’t wait for the good changes Moldavite could give me. Thank you for your help!!!
You’re so welcome! Feel free to come back and leave a comment letting us know about your experience with Moldavite!
Moldavite called to me for 8 months and from the first calling I was searching for my moldavite piece 8 months later we found each other. THE LIL BABY WITCH I am am very much was still then, couldn’t wait for it to arrive at my mailbox so much so the expected day of delivery I hunted down my postman around 9am, that was my 1st lesson, (patience) the postman that day was a substitute for my normal one and he didn’t care what I was waiting for or who I was 9 am the very beginning of my road and he told me HE WOULD NOT GET OUT AND DIG FOR MY PACKAGE I JUST NEEDED TO WAIT! SO I got all mad and spead off saying not so nice words about him as I drove away. I wasn’t going to be home when he did finally get to my mailbox and wouldn’t be returning home until around 2pm. So 1st lesson patients and 2nd mind my thoughts and a 3rd I don’t and can’t control everything! When I do make it home after 2pm that afternoon I jump out and run in looking for my package not finding it anywhere, I knew it was delivered bc I got the email and text so I ran thru the house searching like a crazy lady, until I realized it’s still in my mailbox so I ran and I don’t run lol to get it!! OK just a little side note here the front door at my home litterly everyone BUT ME, has managed to shut their hand or a finger or fingers in the front door for some strange reason OK, but in my entire 3 and a half years living here not ME, not once NOT EVER!! More of lesson 1 I guess patience lol I got the scar on my thumb still today as a reminder 😂. So I grab my package and the other mail and run to the door open it and close it BAMMMMMMM, right on my thumb 😫 immediately it just starts pouring blood so I threw the other mail but my package got it gripped tight in other hand and run to bathroom stick my thumb under cold water, it bleeds and bleeds for I know 10 mins well, until I put on bandaid and that wasn’t helping bleed thru them so I grab more, change them and grab the duct tape lol I nhad to have way more pressure, so I got my thumb under control and go sit on my bed and open my package it had been a long 8 months search and it was over!! I open my box and here is my sterling silver ring with my perfect piece of Moldavite (tiny, tiny, more like a chip size but it’s a whole piece) my point being its very small, and I had been working with other crystals for over a year and a half at this point SO WHEN I PUT MY TINY PERFECT LIL MOLDAVITE RING ON MY PINKY FINGER,
IMMEDIATELY
I FELT IT!! I Was not ready for just how powerful Moldavite is, not ready so much as not really prepared for just exactly how that tiny moldavite was really gonna affect me!! As soon as I put it on my heart began to race, I was sitting completely still, no explainable reason at all for my heart to start beating so very fast and pound, (my heart Chakra was closed, at this time) then I felt a lump in my throat, (my throat Chakra was very closed, at that time) My head started to feel dizzy, and I was beginning to feel confusion as well. (blocked crown Chakra). I felt as if I was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, my room had even begin to spin and I was starting to feel very nauseated 🤢 (yep blocked sacral) I started getting hot flashes to the point I was sweating. It was way overwhelming and my mind felt so confused and my logic mind kept telling there is no way this tiny stone is affecting me this way, but the baby witch in me said take it off, so I did put it back into its tiny black box with the clear quartz point, the lady sent with it placed top back on its box set it near the foot of my bed and I, myself pushed myself up to the head against the wall and sit and stared at the box for 30 mins until I felt somewhat normal again!! Lol Then I grab my phone and call my High Pristess (who BTW knew I was getting my moldavite that day, and who BTW had the best laughs at Lil her baby witch’s 1st experience wit moldavite) 🤣 After all her laughing and giggling and some well quite a bit of her incouraging me to pick it back up lol with her wonderful quidance of walking me thru cleansing & clearing my moldavite of the chaotic energy it was holding I then grounded it and charged it with my energy. And after that I can wear it no issues at all. I DO HAVE TO SAY THIS MOLDAVITE IS UNLIKE ANY CRYSTAL, STONE, ROCK, METIORITE, WHAT HAVE YOU, HEAD THOSE WARNINGS OR LEARN YOUR MOLDAVITE LESSONS THE HARD WAY LIKE ME! LOL 😂 I wouldn’t change any of it though it was one of my most memorable experiences so far! A few suggestions or some advice, head the warnings bc Moldavite I promise is unlike any of stone you may have owned, be ready to match its energy, bc if your not your Moldavite dance will most likely end up being more of the ho-key pokie 🥴🤯 immediately cleanse, ground and recharge your piece properly, and last Trust and Believe you found your Moldavite exactly when you was meant to and be open and ready for changes, (that changes part, that’s kinda a big thing that happens when you get it, and yeah me wit my Taurus Sun and moon and Taurus Venus placements even I just really don’t like change, so that was a very Huge adjustment for me, and the changes begin almost immediately) most of all enjoy your Moldavite Dance! Everyone’s dance is uniquely all their own, all different and it will all be yours and yours alone so my last piece of advice comes from one of my favorite quotes,
When you begin your Moldavite Dance… Make sure you “Dance as if no-one is watching” I hope you enjoyed my first Dance tale with my moldavite and I wish you the very best with yours. Always sending much love, light and peace to all.
Blessed Be 🤍 🖤

The three very small pieces I ordered have just arrived. When I meditated, I held one piece in my hand and put the others on my heart and on top of my head. I felt my body relax and felt some sadness, which made me cry a bit. I like crying for its relaxing effect. Relaxation is what I need most, so I’m very happy with my purchase.
Can moldavite cause upset stomach?
It can make you anxious which would likely cause an upset stomach but please make sure it’s nothing else. If it continues make sure to see a doctor 🙂
Wow after reading this I now understand. I have experienced all.of the above since wearing my moldavite ring.
I had a dream that I was in a crystal shop looking for moldavite!! I ended up getting a piece gifted to me and at first didn’t think it was working,but then I read the effects of moldavite and changed my mind😂 as I had several of them… and when I first got it I couldn’t sleep and when I did sleep I had crazy dreams, turns out that the moldavite I had sitting on my WOODEN bookshelf had to be removed from my room
Haha yes!! So many people make the mistake of placing it on wood while they sleep!
The first dream in my foray into crystals happened like that too! Enjoy the journey your spirit is opening up to something beautiful! Ride the wave, love and light to you and all!
The first time I used moldavite my heart raced and I had palpitations but my angels guided me to get what I needed! Now a tektite and moldavite combo seems to work perfectly to balance it out! It doesn’t matter how big it is! Feel the moldavite crystals the one for you will call you! Mine did and now it’s been great! If you buy one that doesn’t call you, it may disappear as moldavite is known to do, when it doesn’t resonate with someone! Love and light to all!
Hi I just got my mouldavite and on holding it for the first time I felt Dizzy and sick
I recently bought a small Moldavite pendent . When I held it for the first time it caused a pain in my palm. As soon as I put it on my mind started racing non stop, I felt more and more anxious. After 3 days I took it off an put it in a container in the bed room. Since then I have been having intense dreams and my heart rate has been up for days. Still feeling anxious. I’m not sure if this is for me .
This happened to me, too. It burns my palm. I’ve had nightmares. I had to take it off, I felt incredibly anxious and nauseous.
I bought myself a clear quartz and moldavite energy dome and a moldavite bracelet for my boyfriend. I couldn’t understand why I was getting so depressed until my boyfriend told me it’s the moldavite. If you’re not ready to deal with unwanted emotions don’t get it because it’s intense. I have never felt so hopeless and anxious before.
I feel nothing what is wrong with me
I just got mine today. Very exciting. The stone is amazingly warm to the touch, and almost as soon as I put it on, I started getting a dull headache! Oh yeah and I cried for no reason. And it’s still only day 1.
I have heard the warnings about sleep, but I’m also super curious, so I might take it to bed tonight… just to see what happens haha if anything else interesting happens, I’ll update!
We can’t wait to hear how it goes! Keep us posted 🙂
moldavite y quite powerfull, i had used super seven, shungite, the overpowered hematite, penacite, and i can tell you, moldavite is like a drill, is hot, causes pain, sleepness, elevated energy levels or low energy levels to the point that you need to drop your self at bed, some times it is so hot that you can smell the energy burnig, and can make your crown chakra burn literaly along with the third chakra, moldavite can make you tremble like in panic, or can make you so dizzy… you ppl must be prepared mentaly to use this stone, because is a real heavy carrousel tour, until you releases all your blockages and come peacefull.
any way despite the hard travel, i encourage ppl to use moldavite, with yellow desert crystal and agnimagnetite…
i also use shungite quartz and hematite plus citrine carnelian and red jasper and blood garnet to ground me
