MOONSTONE
The Gemstone of Inward Vision
- Full of feminine energy
- A tool for divine wisdom
- Popular in spiritual healing
Like the great glowing anchor of the sky, the magic of the Moonstone enchants us with its bright feminine energy, its tide-like tug, and its promise of cyclical change. For centuries, the moon has been a symbol of the goddess spirit, hanging like an orb above our heads, sometimes a slip of light, other times as fat and full as harvest. The Moonstone captures all this magic and more, this albite mineral is shot through with light beams and a milky sheen also known as adularescence. It is an orthoclase stone – also known as a variety of feldspar mineral. The Moonstone has been sourced from many far-flung corners of the globe, from the tea terraces of Sri Lanka to the whimsical shores of Madagascar, the Aurora lands of Norway, and the vast expanse of Australia.
Just like the moon that hangs in our sky, the Moonstone has been around for many seasonal shifts. In India, the Moonstone has a long history of being a tool used to bring divine wisdom and skills of clairvoyance to the table. In Ancient Rome, the Romans believed that the pearly sheen of the Moonstone was a shard of solid moonlight. It was said that those who glanced into the stone could see the Goddess Diana and that this pearly talisman would bring love and fortune to the wearer.

Zodiac Birthstone
- A birthstone for Libra
- A good match for Scorpio
The Moonstone is one of the mothering birthstones for those born under the Star sign of Libra. Librans are known for their gentle diplomatic nature and for being as sharp as a tack. But at times, Librans can also be a little indecisive, too shy away from any form of confrontation, and never that up for change. The Moonstone can help Librans to accept change in their life with grace and glory, to not fear the decision-making process because like the moon, life rises and falls and nothing remains a constant.
Scorpios too may find solace in the round glow of the Moonstone. Scorpios are brave and bright and unflinchingly loyal. They can also be quick to reactive behavior and turned towards jealousy. The Moonstone can bring its gentle feminine energy to the table to balance this out, ensuring that the contemplative yin nature is present alongside the push of the yang.
