Moonstone – Intuition, Feminine Energy, and Cyclical Power

Moonstone is one of the most sensitive yet powerful crystals in the world of minerals. Its gently shimmering surface resembles the light of the moon – no coincidence, as it is named after the Greek moon goddess Selene. The moonstone from Madagascar, which we refer to as genuine moonstone, belongs to the feldspar family and comes in fascinating colors such as apricot, green, or black – always accompanied by a delicate to strong shimmer.

What is Moonstone?

Moonstone belongs to the feldspar group, specifically, it is a potassium feldspar with the mineralogical name orthoclase. The variety of colors is created by fine lamellae inside, which refract light and produce the famous shimmer (adularescence). Our moonstones come from Madagascar, where they are mined in high-quality, untreated condition.

💡 Fun Fact: In India, moonstone was considered a "dream stone" and was traditionally charged during a full moon to encourage visions and strengthen intuition.
