Moldavite is olive to forest green glass with a surface that looks melted and re-cooled, because it was, roughly fifteen million years ago when a meteorite struck what's now the Czech Republic. It carries a reputation as an intense stone, the kind people reach for at the start of a change too big to ignore rather than one they're easing into. It isn't subtle, and it isn't meant to be. Hold it before a decision that's been circling for a while, or keep a piece where you'll see it during a week that's already asking a lot of you. Its surface stays pitted and rippled instead of polished smooth, evidence of the heat that formed it. You'll be sent the piece intuitively chosen for you. Something for the shift you can feel coming before you can name it.
