Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 HI, Can anyone tell me is is safe to heat Moldovite? I want to set it in Fimo modeling clay to mount in a pendant but this has to be heated for 30 mins at 110 degrees C. I don't want to damage the crystal so won't do it if there is anty risk. Thanks Kirsten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Peggy is right. Moldavite is mostly glass so I would absolutely not heat it....

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Aloha Kierten. .Wirewrapping Moldavite seems to work well in making jewelry. Also leaves mineral free to touch skin which some prefer. Gold is considered masculine and Silver feminine energy so may want to consider that. Moldavite has a 'plasticy' feel to it which I've always found interesting. Have been told that it has the energetic coding of Earth before it was formed and before changed by humans and considered a powerful Earth healer. A friend puts it under pillow to enhance dreams. Her husband as a test put it there again without her knowing and dreams were more vivid, so she feels that is accurate. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Thanks Dawn and Peggy, I have a friend who can mount it in woven silver thread so will do that instead.
