Throughout history, Moonstone has been a sacred stone and its symbolism is associated with many legends.  In India, the Moonstone has a long history of being a tool used to bring divine wisdom and skills of clairvoyance to the table. Ancient Romans and Greeks believed the moonstone was a gift from the moon goddess ?Diana?, that those who looked into the stone might see her and that the wearer of this pearly talisman would be rewarded with love and good fortune. Another common legend calls moonstone the traveler?s stone, a name originating from the belief that wearing moonstone will protect a traveler from harm and misfortune, especially at night and on sea voyages.

Moonstone's modern meaning is still greatly influenced by its ancient association with the moon, making it a gemstone that symbolizes, emotion, femininity, tranquillity, and intuition. It is believed to represent divine feminine energy, is associated with the moon and tides that helps sync up the rhythms of lunar energy to the rhythms of a woman's body, assisting with the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

Moonstone is a type of feldspar mineral and is created by layering two minerals, orthoclase, and albite, in alternating layers. When light passes between these layers, it scatters and reflects, giving off the famous moonstone glow. The scientific name for this otherworldly glow is ?adularescence,? defined as a ?metallic iridescence.?

Moonstone is said to help with empathy and intuition, as well as calming the senses and balancing mood, which is especially useful if you're anxious about life transitions. 

Moonstone is ideal for use at the Sacral chakra because of its associations with the element of water.

Moonstone, like the moon's cyclical nature, tells us that life is all about ebb and flow, assisting us in welcoming change with open arms and reminding us that nothing lasts forever. Moonstone expands the heart into nurturing qualities, as well as supports the acceptance of love, including self-love.
