MOONSTONE

The Gem of Cycles, Intuition Divine Feminine Power

Soft, glowing, and mysterious—Moonstone is like holding a drop of moonlight in your hand. Revered across cultures for its ethereal beauty and powerful energy, Moonstone (often affectionately called Moonite) is more than just a crystal—it’s an ancient symbol of goddess energy, emotional wisdom, and new beginnings.

Whether you're navigating emotional tides, embracing a new phase in life, or seeking deeper connection with your intuition, Moonstone offers a luminous path forward. Let’s explore how this sacred stone can reconnect you to your inner rhythm, your divine knowing, and your spiritual power.

What is Moonstone?

 

Moonstone is a feldspar mineral, known for its unique phenomenon called adularescence—a soft, milky glow that shimmers across the stone's surface, resembling moonlight on water. This glow is created by light reflecting between thin layers of feldspar within the stone, resulting in a mystical sheen that changes as you move the stone.

Moonstone has been cherished for thousands of years as a talisman of intuition, emotional balance, fertility, and feminine power. It’s often associated with lunar deities and the sacred cycles of the moon.

Where is Moonstone Found?

Moonstone is mined in several parts of the world, with the most notable sources being:

  • India – produces rainbow moonstone with bluish or multicolored flashes
  • Sri Lanka – known for high-quality, translucent moonstones with a strong blue sheen
  • Myanmar (Burma) – historically significant and spiritually treasured
  • Madagascar – offers a variety of moonstone types
  • Tanzania, Brazil, and the United States (Virginia and New Mexico) also provide quality specimens

In ancient India, Moonstone was considered sacred and believed to hold solidified moonbeams. In Rome, it was linked to Diana, the moon goddess, and was thought to bring love, wisdom, and protection—especially to women and travelers.
