Moonstone, a captivating variety of feldspar, enchants with its pearly and opalescent luster, known as adularescence. This phenomenon creates a soft, billowy glow reminiscent of moonlight dancing on water. Moonstone forms in igneous and metamorphic rocks, with significant deposits found in Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar, and Madagascar. Its colors range from milky whites and soft grays to peach, blue, and even rainbow hues, each variant offering a unique visual allure.
The name “moonstone” derives from its moon-like sheen. In some traditions, it’s also called “hecatolite,” linking it to the Greek goddess Hecate. Other names are Adularia, Water Opal, Fish-Eye Stone.
Moonstone belongs to the feldspar group, closely related to: Labradorite: Known for its vibrant play of colors, called labradorescence. Sunstone: Distinguished by its glittery aventurescence, reminiscent of sunlight.These stones share a common lineage but each exhibits distinct optical phenomena.
Moonstone has been steeped in myth and legend across various cultures. The Romans believed it was formed from solidified moonbeams and associated it with their moon goddess, Diana, thinking it could bestow love, wisdom, and good fortune upon its wearer.
In Hindu mythology, moonstone was considered sacred, believed to be composed of moonbeams. Legends suggested that placing a moonstone in one’s mouth during a full moon could reveal the future.
Known as the “Traveler’s Stone,” moonstone was thought to protect those who journeyed at night, especially under the moon’s light. Ancient mariners believed it would safeguard them over water.
In metaphysical practices, moonstone is linked to the crown and third-eye chakras, enhancing intuition, promoting inspiration, and fostering emotional balance. It’s often associated with the zodiac signs Cancer and Scorpio, resonating with their deep emotional currents and connection to lunar energies.
