How a Green Stone Transformed My Life

I was about 17 when my mother, a friend, and I decided to escape to the tranquility of the mountains for a weekend. Although Hungary lacks towering peaks, it still has little villages nestled in the woods that are perfect for calming the mind and connecting with nature.
Since childhood, I have been fascinated with collecting gemstones during our hikes. Obsidian, rock crystal, agate—I have been fortunate to find these beautiful pieces. However, on this particular trip, I was possessed by the idea of discovering a green gemstone. My skeptical mother dismissed the notion, insisting that nobody ever found green gems in these mountains. Undeterred, I clung to my wish.
On the last day of our retreat, my eyes remained fixed on the ground during a leisurely walk before heading home. My mother, growing frustrated, admonished me, "Stop looking for it; you'll never find a green gemstone here!" At that moment, a stranger approached us, revealing that she had been at a nearby yoga retreat for several days. Her daughter had requested a green gemstone, and despite diligent searching, she found none. Determined to prove otherwise, I assured her that nothing was impossible, and at that very moment, I spotted a green shimmer at her feet.
I was so excited and began to dig it up with my fingers, much to my mother's skepticism. She thought it was a mere piece of glass. But as I held it in my hand, she became speechless. I broke off a small block of it for the woman's daughter, evoking gratitude that touched my heart.
At 17, I was oblivious to the Law of Attraction or manifestation, the idea that our thoughts and feelings can attract positive or negative experiences into our lives. Yet, it seemed to work seamlessly in this instance. In times of difficulty or when I am seeking inspiration, I hold my beautiful green stone, a tangible reminder that anything is possible. It wasn't just the stone itself. It was the realization that directing our undivided attention towards a desire, coupled with a strong belief, will bring it to life.
This green gemstone, once a mere object of fascination, has now transformed into a powerful symbol. It symbolizes the strength that comes from focused intention and unwavering belief. It's a constant reminder that even in the face of adversity, hope and resilience can prevail.
Despite my love for gemstones and crystals, I need to become more expert. Unsure of its exact identity, I speculate it might be Moldavite. What do you think? If you have any insights, please feel free to contact me.
May you find your green stone—a symbol of hope, resilience, and boundless possibilities.
