How to Cleanse, Charge and Care for Moldavite

The short answer: Moldavite can be cleansed energetically with smoke, sound, moonlight or a selenite plate. Physically, clean it with a soft cloth and, if needed, lukewarm water. Because it's a natural glass that is softer than quartz and can chip, store it on its own in a soft pouch and avoid knocks, harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.

Why moldavite needs gentle care

Moldavite is a natural glass. On the Mohs hardness scale it sits around 5.5, softer than quartz, which is a 7. That means quartz and other harder stones can scratch it. Its delicate, sculpted edges can also chip if dropped.

How to cleanse moldavite energetically

In crystal traditions, cleansing clears a stone of energy it has absorbed. These gentle methods are all safe for moldavite:

• Smoke: Pass your moldavite through the smoke of a cleansing herb or incense for 30 seconds.
• Sound: Ring a singing bowl, bell or tuning fork near your stone.
• Moonlight: Leave it on a windowsill overnight, especially during a full moon.
• Selenite: Rest your moldavite on a selenite plate or next to a selenite wand overnight.
• Breath and intention: Hold your stone, set your intention and blow gently over it.

How to charge moldavite

After cleansing, many people like to charge their moldavite with a fresh intention. Hold it over your heart and speak or think your intention clearly. Some people also place it on a clear quartz cluster, as long as the stones don't rub against each other.

How to clean moldavite physically

1. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
2. If it's dusty, rinse briefly in lukewarm water. A drop of mild soap is fine if needed.
3. Use a soft brush to gently clear dust from the grooves of raw pieces.
4. Pat dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry.

What to avoid

• Harsh chemicals, including household cleaners
• Ultrasonic or steam cleaners
• Sudden temperature changes, such as hot water straight after cold
• Salt scrubs or rough cleaning tools
• Storing it loose with harder stones

Caring for moldavite jewellery

Take your moldavite jewellery off before swimming, showering, exercising or applying lotions and perfume. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch to protect both the stone and the setting.

How often should I cleanse moldavite?

There's no fixed rule. Many people cleanse when they first bring a piece home, then every few weeks or whenever it feels right. Trust your intuition.
