Moonstone
The June birthstone, named for its moon-like sheen, Moonstone is a Feldspar mineral exhibiting a soft, watery opaqueness and a silvery-white reflection called chatoyancy that moves as a line across the surface as light varies. Moonstone occurs in delicate shades of peach, blue, grey, white and a prismatic variety known as Rainbow Moonstone.
Moonstone has been used in Roman jewellery for nearly two thousand years, even longer in the Orient. It has always been a sacred stone in India with a special significance for lovers, and is a traditional wedding gift there. It was a popular choice for jewellers in the Art Nouveau period, and in Europe was believed to reconcile estranged lovers and to cure sleeplessness. Moonstone is known as the 'Traveller's Stone' for the protection it affords, especially at night, and because of its uplifting quality of hope, has long been worn as a talisman to enhance the personality
Since earliest times, Moonstone has been a tangible connection to the magic of the moon - an amulet of protection for travellers, a gift of lovers for passion, a channel for prophecy, and a path to wisdom. Our ties to the moon are strong. As it waxes and wanes in cyclic perfection, it creates the tides and rhythms of our mother, Earth, and influences our behaviours, emotions and spiritual growth. Moonstone calms and encourages, teaching us the natural rhythms of life.
The white crystal energies present in all Moonstones have an association with the Crown Chakra and our spiritual centre. Moonstone cleanses and dispels negativity from all the chakras, and provides supplemental energy and support in balancing the physical, emotional, and intellectual bodies. It provides spiritual nourishment and sustenance to assist one through all changes.
