Moldavite and pipe stone

[Guest guest]

MOLDAVITE - The Grail Stone - Tektite

 

Chemical Composition: SiO2 + Al,Ca,Fe,K,Na

 

Crystal System: Amorphous Hardness: 5 - 6

 

Habit: Usually small nodules or splinters that vary from simple rounded

shapes to very intricate beautiful natural carvings. Many have smooth, scarred

or pitted surfaces

 

Colour: Transparent green

 

KEYWORD: TRANSFORMATIONAL

 

Tektites are still poorly understood. They are irregularly - and at times

elaborately - shaped nodules and blobs of a glassy substance. They have no

crystal structure and are therefore similar to obsidian, but are not associated

with volcanic processes.

 

Their chemistry is unique and unexplained. The leading theory concerning

their origin is the “Meteorite Impact Theoryâ€. It is postulated that many

odd

events occur during a meteor’s impact, because of the tremendous heat and

pressure produced. Tektites may be fused glass that formed during an impact of

a meteor with layers of rock on the earth’s surface. Tektites occur in

broad bands in specific localities in different parts of the world. These

bands

produce characteristically similar tektites and are sometimes loosely

associated with meteorite craters or suspected craters. Could these fields

represent splash material from an impact? Many believe so and this idea is

gaining

acceptance from many scientists. The odd and diverse chemistry of the

tektites could be a result of unique meteorites hitting unique rock types with

the

combinations producing particular effects.

 

Tektites, which have been found on every continent, are tar black or

blackish brown, while moldavites, which have been found only in the Moldau river

valley in Czechoslovakia, are a deep green colour. The only known fall of

moldavites occurred about 15 million years ago. Humans prized them at least as

long as 25,000 years ago, for archaeologists have discovered moldavite shards

and pieces in cave dwellings of that era.

 

Moldavites are the rarest of gems, perhaps rarer than diamonds, rubies or

emeralds. Since their origin is not of the earth, the discovery of new

deposits seems unlikely. Moldavites are sometimes cut as gemstones or put into

jewellery as natural uncut pieces to show off their often eerie and exquisite

intricate shapes.

 

Although moldavite has been known of as a gem for thousands of years, it

remained in obscurity until recently, the only reference being an article in the

Lapidary Journal in 1958 about a strange stone with some kind of mystical

properties. In 1986 the wonderful book ‘Moldavite, Starborn Stone’, by Bob

Simmons and Kathy Warner, was published. It brought the truly transformational

stone moldavite to the attention of millions of ‘Light-Workers’ around the

Planet.

 

The 5 keys to moldavite’s transformational properties are its:

 

Amorphous Nature Inner Structure

 

Cosmic Birth Growth Conditions

 

Verdant Green Hue Colour Vibration

 

Intense Resonance Vibration

 

‘Spirit’ or Angel Guide Inspiration

 

Amorphous Nature - Inner Structure

 

Basically, moldavite has no structure; this means it can take you beyond

your self-limiting belief system into uncharted realms of infinite

possibilities. Moldavite contains the essence of shunyata, the vast emptiness

(which

contains all potentiality), stretching in all directions, absolutely clear,

pristine and radiant. By this clear starry night sky stretching into infinity

we can gain an understanding, a feeling for the expansiveness and freedom

which could be ours if we did not allow our horizons to become narrow, clouded

and limited, if we did not permit our minds to become fixated and hypnotized by

cravings and worries centred on what really are empty passing phenomena.

 

Cosmic Birth - Growth Conditions

 

Moldavite’s chemistry is unique and unexplained. The leading theory

concerning their origin is the “Meteorite Impact Theoryâ€. They were born

from a

meteor’s impact because of the tremendous heat and pressure produced. This

makes the energy of moldavite very fast, hot and cosmic. They were sent here

for the awakened ‘star children’, to help their ascension into the higher

realms of cosmic consciousness. This massive vibrational shift is happening

right now, that is why so many people feel a magnetic attraction to the cosmic

transformational tool of moldavite.

 

Verdant Green Hue - Colour Vibration

 

Green is a balance colour, it is the bridge, a gateway into the heart of the

body; the lesson of love that needs to be learned in order to grow

spiritually. Green will encourage your spiritual growth. It wants you to take

your

proper place in life. Green gives you harmony and balance. Green does just

not follow rules blindly; it creates better ones where the old ones have

failed. Green holds the keys to memory - it can remember that which needs to

be

remembered. So it unlocks the deep and hidden that is the cause of our

psychological and physical dis-ease. It is the diagnostic colour. This makes

moldavite one of the best diagnostic crystals we have available. An aversion

to

moldavite or the colour green often indicates that we do not feel at ease

with our emotions. It shows a deep fear of opening our heart chakra fully to

unlimited unconditional love.

 

Intense Resonance - Vibration

 

Metaphysically, we have within us the light body and this contains

encodements of information like tiles. When we hold moldavite this data is

released.

Very often many people are not consciously aware of the information being

unlocked, they just feel what has commonly been called the moldavite flush’,

a

huge wave of powerful energy which actually flushes through the body. This

can cause sweating or a bright ‘red’ face. Interestingly, red is the green

ray’s balance colour. Others experience the decoding or download as heat

surging up their spine. Still others experience the download as an emotional

rel

ease of tears or laughter. Others find the vibrational download shift and

the resulting rise in their vibrational rate as too intense; they may become

fearful. Others experience it as dizziness or headaches. There is no doubt,

though; the download does cause massive spiritual growth. It can take years

to fully integrate the download of information. In fact the more people

resist the integration of their Divine blueprint being decoded from the Akashic

records, the longer it takes.

 

‘Spirit’ or Angel Guide - Inspiration

 

When we hold, wear, meditate or carry moldavite our energy field changes.

The universal law of resonance says that what we focus on becomes our reality.

Like attracts like. When we understand that every thought is sent out and

attracts like energy which strengthens it, then comes back to us like a

boomerang, we begin to grasp how the higher vibration of moldavite increases

our

sensitivity and increases our clairaudience and clairvoyance abilities. We

literally attract a higher form of guidance. Moldavite does have an Oversoul

Spirit Guide, which is a vast cosmic Angel. The moldavite Angel can help in

all areas, including connecting you to other high vibrational guides and

Ascended Masters. These Cosmic Masters have been around for aeons and are able

to

work with anyone whose vibration has been raised sufficiently. You don’t

have to use moldavite, though, to attract Cosmic Masters. Many people who have

refined their vibration through meditation have accessed this guidance.

 

The ‘Grail Stone’ is another name for moldavite: it is its ‘Spirit’

name.

Legend has it that anyone who touches the ‘Grail Stone’ will have a

spiritual transformation. Those who choose to wear, carry, meditate or heal

with

moldavite carry the energy of moldavite within their Divine blueprint. This

makes them the ambassadors for transformation; indeed their energy is raised to

such a high vibration of resonance they become the instruments of the

enfoldment of the Divine plan for Planet Earth as she and her children make the

vibrational shift into the next dimension.

 

Affirmation: I release all limiting thought patterns: I am transformed.

 

as far as the pipe stone goes, I asked my brother... he said some say it is

the blood of the people... holds the spirit of the dead... when smoking

it/they becomes alive... it is part of a scared quest to hunt for it... also he

said it is part of the medicine wheel, the spirit keepers of the east...

Quarrying of Pipestone (Catlinite)

 

At Pipestone Minnesota

 

Quarrying of Pipestone for use in artistically carving of Pipestone pipes

and other articles is a slow and labor intense project The process requires many

person hours, hand tools such as (sledge hammers, pry bars, chisels, wedges,

and picks), Quarrying time can be estimated at approximately three to six

weeks and involves several steps. The Pipestone is sandwiched between two

layers of the hard Sioux quartzite and on the top, earth varying depth of one

to

six feet deep. Quartzite depth also varies from three to fourteen feet

depending upon how extensive the Quarrying operation is conducted at a

particular

site.

 

Quarrying requires removing the over burden to expose the soft red stone.

Using picks, shovels, and wheelbarrows, the rock/soil mix is removed to expose

the Sioux quartzite layers. The quartzite consists of several layers with

definite fractures or cracks visible, where the worker will set chisels and

wedges and start to drive them into the fractures or cracks with sledgehammers.

The wedges will loosen the quartzite, which will then be pried away from the

quartzite wall and drop to the quarry floor. Large malls are used to break up

the large chunks into smaller pieces or fragments which we of a size that the

worker can lift and throw away from the quarry floor. This process is

repeated until the Pipestone is exposed. Once the Pipestone is exposed, extreme

care

is taken to remove the Pipestone from its setting place.

 

The Pipestone vein varies from fourteen to eighteen inches thick and is

layered with the maximum thickness of 1 112’ to 2’. Occasionally pieces

thicker

than 2 we found since they are the reality most quarriers keep theses pieces

for themselves. Each layer is carefully removed one layer at a time. The

quarriers refer the pieces of Pipestone as a seam, a portion varying in size,

with

a definite separation from top to bottom. The quarrier will be sure to

remove enough of the over burden to fully expose each seam they are after.

 

The first layer of each seam is not usable for carving, the middle layers

varying quality and is useful for smaller carvings and sometimes pipes, and the

bottom layer is of the best quality for pipes and larger carvings and

generally the thickest, hardest and deepest red color. Pipestone can also have

pinkish or white spots of varying size, dark reddish purple spots or swirls and

pinkish to white lines. Some feel that the deep red solid color is the best

quality stone while, others feet the spotted stone is. I have head it said that

the white spots represent where spirits have touched the rock and left their

mark.

 

After hearing this story it was brought to my attention by a geologist that

the lighter color was caused by water slowly flowing from the surface down

through the layers of rock and finally the pipestone rock. The water washed away

over 1,000’s of year a small amount of the iron oxide, which causes the red

color. I felt that this only strengthened my belief that the stone was indeed

touched by the spirits.

 

 

 

hope the above helps
