Moonstone is a potassium aluminium silicate mineral belonging to the Feldspar group. It is distinguished by its unique optical phenomenon called adularescence, a stunning schiller or soft, billowy blue or white light that seems to float just beneath the surface, resembling moonlight. The body colour is usually white, grey, or peach. It possesses a pearly to vitreous lustre. Due to its relative softness and cleavage, it is typically cut into cabochons and set carefully into jewellery.
Moonstone is known as the "Stone of New Beginnings and Feminine Energy." It is deeply connected to the moon and intuition, serving as a powerful emotional stabiliser and soother. It calms overreactions, lessens stress, and enhances psychic abilities and dream clarity. Moonstone encourages hope, inspiration, and success, bringing forth a sense of serenity. It is particularly associated with the Divine Feminine and is often used to promote hormonal balance and fertility.
Hardness: 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale (it requires care when worn as jewellery).
Chakra: Primarily the Crown Chakra (for spiritual connection) and the Sacral Chakra (for emotional and hormonal balance).
Zodiac Sign: Cancer, Libra, and Scorpio. It is also a traditional birthstone for June.
Benefits: Enhances intuition, psychic abilities, and emotional balance, encourages hope, inspiration, and new beginnings, aids in calming stress and overreactions, promotes fertility and hormonal harmony, and facilitates lucid dreaming and dream recall.
