MOONSTONE
General information
Moonstone is a variety of orthoclase, sometimes with a bluish cat's-eye effect. The stone is pearly white, yellow to blue, with a pearly sheen.
Effect
Feminine energy, fertility, and intuition.
Moonstone has a strong connection to the moon and feminine energy. The stone promotes intuition and fertility and has a calming effect on the emotional life. Moonstone enhances psychic abilities such as mediumship and clairvoyance. The stone also has a strong effect on sleep and dreams, helping with insomnia and improving dream recall. It is a good stone for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, supporting pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Moonstone can also be helpful for (pre)menstrual complaints, postpartum complaints, and menopausal symptoms. Physically, moonstone has a detoxifying effect, activates the pineal gland, and balances the hormonal system. The stone has a positive effect on digestion and the reproductive organs and reduces fluid retention.
Applications
Moonstone can be worn on or near the body. The spiritual effect of moonstone is enhanced by placing it on the third eye.
The psychic effect of moonstone is enhanced by placing it on the forehead. It can be made into gemstone water or an elixir.
Care
Moonstone is a very soft and brittle stone. It scratches easily and is very fragile. When caring for the stone, it's wise to avoid chemicals, bright sunlight, and water as much as possible. If the stone loses its shine, you can polish it with a cloth and perhaps a little oil. Moonstone, of course, recharges exceptionally well in the moonlight.
