About Moonstone:
Moonstone, with its luminous internal glow, is strongly linked to the Moon. However, this stunning gem possesses much more than just a mystical connection. Known as a powerful talisman for love, fertility, protection, and sleep, moonstone holds a rich history of symbolism and spiritual associations.
As part of the feldspar mineral group, moonstone shares its magic with other beloved gemstones like labradorite, amazonite, and sunstone. Feldspars, which make up a significant portion of the Earth's crust, are believed to ignite our creativity and inspire innovative solutions to our problems.
Revered for its mesmerizing beauty, moonstone is also known to realign our chakras and boost our self-esteem. Scoring between 6.0 and 6.5 on the Mohs scale, moonstone may not rank high in toughness, but it possesses powerful properties that make it a highly sought-after gemstone.
In Feng Shui tradition, the moon symbolizes feminine energy. The cycle of the moon impacts all things in nature but impacts the moonstone directly. According to many traditions and beliefs, the moonstone absorbs the feminine energies of the moon.
Despite being a feminine stone, gemstones carry both feminine and masculine energy. Moonstones can work just as well for men as they do for women, but often in different ways. For example, moonstones are particularly useful among men at calming rising anger and releasing tension.
The moonstone connects to three chakras: Heart, Solar Plexus, and Third Eye. All moonstones connect to the Solar Plexus chakra, which helps with self-awareness and self-confidence. To maximize this chakra, place a moonstone to your upper abdomen.

In ancient Tibetan culture, moonstones were used as medicines for anxiety attacks and other mental health problems. When left bedside or under your pillow, white and rainbow moonstones are particularly great at calming your mind enough to lucid dream. Lucid dreaming is being so aware of your dreams that you can directly impact and change what you’re dreaming.
Moonstones are found in deposits in Switzerland, Armenia, Australia, Mexico, Norway, the United States, Poland, India, Sri Lanka, and many other places across the globe and across history. These beautiful stones date back to before the Ancient Romans.

Moonstones may help relieve pain during pregnancy and childbirth. Parents have found moonstones to be an effective way to help their overwhelmed children calm down.
From the brightest white to deepest black with effervescent peaches, fizzy greens, sparkling blues, bubbly pinks, and a rainbow iridescent colors in between, moonstone colors are as unique and beautiful as the wearer. Adularescence, also called “shiller,” appears as a creamy glow within certain gemstones, particularly moonstones.
