Moonstone is one of the many varieties of feldspar (adular). The feldspars are a group of calcium,sodium
or potassium aluminum silicate minerals. The well known varieties include labradorite, amazonite, and
moonstone.
Moonstone shows an almost magical play of light as its characteristic feature. It owes its name to this
mysterious gleaming which appears different whenever the stone changes its position in movement. Experts
call this the "Adularescence", and in earlier times the phases of waxing and waning moon were thought to
be discerned in this phenomenon.
Moonstone color ranges from colorless, yellow, to pale sheen white or blue. While some moonstone have
clear and transparent look, the milky-white variety have blue or white sheen (schiller) similar to
moonshine, the so-call adularescence. Moonstone are usually cut in cabochons to show their beautiful
and attractive effects and soft subtle colors.
Moonstone is considered as the most powerful fertility crystals. It supports women's connection to the
Goddess and the moon, soothes and heals the emotions and mind. Moonstone is also a good luck stone,
especially for lovers. From Southeast Asia to Europe, the moonstone is associated with love and was worn
to attract a lover. It prevents young child from night terrors, protect travelers at night and on the
sea, and advances women's wisdom.
