HOLISTIC / HEALING BENEFITS:

The healing powers of gems remain a controversial issue, but are mentioned for centuries by healers, shamans and medicine men. The safest approach is to wear the gemstone in skin contact to the troubled part of the body. Moonstone is said to be of help for headaches and backache.

Moonstone from Sri Lanka, the classical country of origin for Moonstone, shimmers pale blue on an almost transparent ground. Specimens from India show cloudlike plays of light and shade on beige brown, green, orange, grey or simple brown background. They do come as well in blue and peach, smoke and champagne colored, or in black and reddish.

Gemologists call this phenomena adularescence, which originates from the interior structure of the gemstone in scales or lamellas. Incoming rays of light are refracted inside the stone and scattered, creating a unique play of light, which makes moonstone so special and coveted. In Arab countries women reportedly sew moonstone into their garments, because it's considered a symbol of fertility.
