Moonstone is one of the most mystical and ethereal gems.
It belongs to the orthoclase, a type of minerals that can be found in the Earth’s crust.
While its look captured the attention of millions of people throughout history, it has a deeper meaning and important origin a wearer should be familiar with. Plus, there are various benefits one can receive from this stone.
So, let’s learn a little bit more about this gorgeous stone.
Meaning
There’s a lot you can understand about this stone by looking at it’s visual aspects. A tumbled piece of moonstone looks like a big moon in the night sky. Color and light shifts with the iridescence and there is a fluid and watery movement to the stone. The appearance is also soft and milky, like mother’s milk.
The moon, in feng shui and many other spiritual traditions, represents the divine feminine. Women’s fertility cycles connect with the waxing and waning of the moon. The moonstone is known for balancing hormonal and reproductive issues as well as emotions.
The Moonstone also reminds us of how our lives ebb and flow. Moonstone cultivates compassion and empathy. It helps us to tap into our intuition and enhances psychic abilities and clairvoyance.
