Moonstone Jewelry Gift Guide

Looking for the perfect gift for the moonstone lover in your life? Or perhaps you’re searching for jewelry with June birthstones, or simply curious about the benefits of moonstone? If so, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we’ll explore some of the wonderful properties of this enchanting stone and the stunning jewelry in our moonstone collection.

What is Moonstone?

Also known as hecatolite, moonstone is a variety of feldspar with a unique iridescent quality that is caused by light refracting between layers of minerals within the stone, called adularescence. Usually milky white or crystal clear, this luminous stone has been associated with the moon since at least the time of Ancient Rome, when it was thought to be a form of crystalized moonlight.

We now know that moonstone is formed when the minerals orthoclase and albite layer over each other, creating a fascinating play of colors and reflections when the light strikes it. But although that might be a less romantic origin, many still believe that moonstone has a powerful connection with lunar energy.

It’s not hard to see why: moonstone has an almost unearthly glow. It evokes the shine of the moon and radiates purity and peace. Unsurprisingly, moonstone has captured our imaginations throughout history, just like the moon itself.

Types of Moonstone

Sometimes mistaken for opal, which comes in a wider range of vibrant colors, moonstone has a few distinct varieties. Most moonstone is white or clear, with an iridescent, reflective glow which is brighter depending on the number of layers of minerals contained within the stone. This quality makes it resemble the moon or a pure drop of water.

Rainbow moonstone, despite its name, is not true moonstone, but a form of labradorite which superficially resembles moonstone.

Blue moonstone is the rarest and most valuable kind of moonstone and is mined primarily in Sri Lanka. This precious stone is named for its incredible blue iridescence, which can range in color from dark to vibrant, pale electric blue.

The Meaning of Moonstone

Moonstone is one of the traditional birthstones for those born in June, along with pearl and alexandrite. Moonstone jewelry is a wonderful gift for the Geminis and Cancers in your life, but anyone can enjoy the benefits of this enchanting stone.

Because of its connection with the moon, moonstone is associated with femininity, natural cycles, and tranquility.

The Symbolism of Moonstone

As the closest celestial body to Earth, our moon has a powerful influence over our planet, controlling the tides and bringing light to the night sky. The endless cycle of the phases of the moon reminds us that all things have a beginning and an end, and that we have endless potential for rebirth and renewal.

Moonstone also represents our connection with the cosmos and our place in the universe. We look up to the sky, we see the same moon and stars that have inspired countless generations of people before us.

The Benefits of Moonstone

Moonstone is a wonderful healing stone if you experience anxiety, turmoil, or stress. It helps balance emotions and brings you peace and comfort in troubling times.

Moonstone is also an excellent focus for self-reflection and meditation, helping you connect with your inner wisdom and intuition. Use it to connect with your higher self and raise your consciousness.

Women’s moonstone jewelry has an array of fascinating spiritual properties and can help you connect with your own divine femininity, with the power of the moon that influences us all, and with your intuitive wisdom.

Moonstone is beloved as a healing crystal with the ability to calm and comfort the mind. It supports the heart chakra by helping you calm your heart and feel comfortable being your authentic, vulnerable, passionate self.

And it’s beautiful too!
