Product details

Moonstone is a captivating and ethereal gemstone known for its shimmering play of light and its associations with lunar qualities. It belongs to the feldspar group of minerals and is admired for its unique adularescence, a phenomenon in which light appears to float over the surface of the stone, creating a soft, milky glow. Here are some key points about moonstone:

1. Adularescence: Moonstone’s adularescence is caused by the scattering of light as it interacts with alternating layers of albite and orthoclase feldspar within the stone. This creates the characteristic moon-like sheen that seems to move across the surface as the stone is viewed from different angles.
2. Colors and Varieties: Moonstone can come in various colors, with blue and white being the most common. Rainbow moonstone is a type of white moonstone that exhibits a beautiful play of colors, often including blues, purples, and pinks.
3. Symbolism: Moonstone is often associated with feminine energy, intuition, and emotional balance. It is believed to enhance psychic abilities, promote inner growth, and aid in spiritual insight.
4. Birthstone and Zodiac Associations: Moonstone is associated with the month of June and is often linked to the zodiac signs Cancer and Libra.
