For my that would be a combination of the elements of Air/Wind and water definitely and possibly fire (lightning storm). As to tektites, Moldavite and meteors, Personally, I don't have a problem with them being *assigned* the element of fire. If you think about how they enter our atmosphere (usually in a big flaming ball), the only way to me you can get that close to being assigned fire as an element is any volcanic mineral (lava rock and obsidian come to mind). We could always go off an a tangent and *create* our own elemental classification of etheria (ether? etheric?) for anything that *comes from outerspace*. Then too that could still encompass *Air*. SO, basically I would say, whatever you feel resonates for an element for Moldavite and tektites .... use that. All of it is subjective and a matter of personal perspective anyway. Each and every mineral/crystal/stone has all elements (earth, air, fire, water) playing a part of it's development at some point during it's formation anyway. So, to me it is more a matter of which element seems to *dominate* the crystal's energies and which are more subtle. Time to go make dinner and then off to our local Druid Grove's Imbolc Rite.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hiyas ReNau, everyone, As far as Moldavite it is labeled as a storm element. Now as far as the book describes storm it incorporates all of the other elements of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. Anyhow, happy Imbolc ReNau. Take care, namaste, MP, Ah'o, Lynn , renaumoon wrote: > > > > In a message dated 2/2/2008 8:32:10 AM Eastern Standard Time, > chigung68 writes: > > ~~~Good point. but what do we name it? lol > > > I am curious as to what people think of the book and also for those that > have used/read > > the book wonder what people thought of the use of Earth elements: Earth, > Wind, Fire, > > Water and Storm?
