If you were on #AstrologyTok about two or three years ago, chances are your FYP was filled with content about a type of crystal called a Czech meteorite. At the time, Moldavite was praised for its many life-changing properties, such as its ability to connect you to your higher self. But years later, users of celestial crystals are updating their experiences with Czech meteorites, but don’t let the results scare you away.
In case you need a refresher, Czech tektite crystal is a yellow-green gemstone that, according to the Crystal Council, is thought to have been brought to the planet via meteorites that struck the Earth 15 million years ago. Known as the “stone of transformation,” Czech meteorites are known for their ability to completely change the lives of those who use them. In fact, according to the Crystal Council, it's so powerful that "when you first start using it, it's common practice to have a grounding stone nearby to avoid the tektite being too strong." So, yeah, that's what we're working with, guys. As crystal expert Mariah K. Lyons, author of "Crystal Healing for Women," previously told Bustle, Moldavite is an "extremely high vibrational crystal that has the ability to support people in connection with their highest path." be consistent".

While transformative transformation can be a good thing (and sometimes necessary), you may want to steer clear of crystals if you're not ready to face the challenges it can bring. Take TikTok user @symbioticsage, who posted a video in 2021 warning others not to invest in crystals.
"If you want to buy a Czech stone, don't do it. Unless you want to find out something about yourself you don't want to know." Note that the creator released a tearful PSA just two days after possessing the crystal.

With all this in mind, it's no wonder that TikTok user @aquariusxmars issued a request on April 18 to "anyone who obtained a Moldavite in 2020," asking them to provide an update on how the crystal has impacted their lives.
"I wonder what your life will be like in two, three years. I remember everyone posting about it having the power to literally change the entire trajectory of your life... I wonder where the people who followed that stone are, And whether they regret it," the creator said.

Many Moldavite users responded to the call, including @mxkanteven, who shared that his life was "simply terrible" but after purchasing four stones, it was "really good."
After calling their lives the past two years "a mess," the creators noted that their first year with Czech Meteorite was great because they were able to save some savings and pay off all their debt. Their health declined over the next year, but after emergency outpatient surgery, the Moldavite user shared that their careers took off almost overnight.

Therapist @lunasolamor_'s experience with the Czech meteorite also had a happy ending, but the creator lost their home, job and all their possessions in one day on the other side of the world. No, seriously .

Although some people feel crystals have changed their lives for the better, don't let positive reviews sway you. Rather than explain the mess this gem caused them, TikToker @gokeegango let their totaled car speak for itself. The author also wrote in the caption, "I [had] no thoughts of relaxing," in case the damaged vehicle wasn't enough proof.

Entrepreneur @rebekkablue also shared a harrowing Moldaviite story, admitting they had to empty their savings and sell all their possessions to stay in business after purchasing the crystal. That being said, the Czech meteorite user said in a follow-up video that while they wouldn't buy it again, they are "very grateful" for the lessons the stone has taught them in their lives.

As you can see, experiences with Czech Meteorite range from very good to very , very bad. If you think you're up for the challenge, crystals are sure to bring about transformative shifts that are an absolute blessing. But if you're happy with the status quo, I wouldn't touch these things if I were you.
