Molybdenum with quartz also assists one in acknowledging “All That Is” and promotes the knowledge that one is truly never alone. It is said that Molybdenum was consciously sent to our Earth, landing in a meteorite, and during the process of entry, occasionally adhered to quartz, producing the melding of a union of Earth and the planet from which it came (said to be Kyalpha). It is also said that the synthesis of molybdenum and quartz provided an energy to the Lemurians during the demise of their land, so that they could travel and establish new colonies elsewhere in this world.

Molybdenum is a metamorphic position enhancer, stimulating knowledge and illumination, removing energy blockages while opening pathways to the future.
