Life is full of ups and downs; moments of peace and chaos; happiness and sadness. It’s rarely a smooth ride. For this reason, there comes a time in our lives when we are overwhelmed by emotional stress and uncertainties that wreak havoc on our body and mind.
When your peace of mind is threatened and there’s a risk of thing spiraling out of control, your solution may lie with an ancient and hauntingly beautiful gemstone known as Moonstone.
What is Moonstone?
Chemically, Moonstone is a sodium potassium aluminum silicate—denoted by the formula (Na, K)AlSi3O8. It belongs to a family of feldspars and it can be found in a wide array of colors—including blue (rare and found in Sri Lanka), brown, yellow, gray, pink, and peach. But the appeal of this gemstone lies more in its metaphysical properties than the chemical composition.
A quick look at the stone provokes a transcending, mesmerizing, and otherworldly experience. Its name is fitting for the adularescence (i.e., the floating moon effect) that characterizes it. Some describe the Moonstone as a veiled spectacle of cirrus clouds or shimmering light with a moon backdrop.
Moonstone is valued for its different meanings by gemstone aficionados, spiritualists, shamans, religious devotees, and monks. Read on for more on its healing properties.
