Moon Stone
Product details
Moonstone is a variety of the mineral feldspar and is known for its unique adularescence, which is a milky or pearly iridescence that appears to move across the surface of the stone as it catches the light. This effect is caused by light scattering off microscopic layers of feldspar within the stone.
Moonstone is typically translucent and comes in shades of white, gray, peach, and blue. The most well-known variety is the bluish or rainbow moonstone, which exhibits a play of colors that can resemble the play of light on water.
In terms of metaphysical and spiritual beliefs, moonstone has been associated with various properties, including:
- Feminine Energy: Moonstone is often considered a stone of feminine energy and is associated with the moon and the cycles of the moon. It is sometimes referred to as a “stone of new beginnings.”
- Intuition and Emotions: Moonstone is believed by some to enhance intuition, emotional balance, and empathy. It’s thought to be helpful for those seeking to connect with their emotions and inner selves.
