Moonstone

The Moonstone carries colors and dimensions that are constantly shifting and changing. The healing energy of Moonstone jewelry has been valued for centuries in a variety of cultures; the bringer of peace, balance and dreams. This crystal has been valued as a sacred and powerful healing stone since ancient times. According to Robert Simmon’s Book of Stones, in India, moonstones have always been considered sacred healing stones, carrying special traditional significance. It was believed that placing Moonstone in their mouths when the moon was full would allow them to see their future. Moonstone jewelry was also given as a traditional wedding gift, for bringing harmony to the marriage. In Europe, Moonstone was said to reconcile estranged lovers, and to cure sleeplessness.

The birthstone for June, Moonstone, is believed to be the stone of destiny, mystery, change and wishes. It is strongly connected to the energy of the moon and the divine feminine, making it a very powerful stone for women. For women, it brings forth your feminine power and strengthens your connection to your inner goddess. Moonstone bracelets are worn for health, protection and to harmonize the mind. These healing stones are said to be the gems of High Priestess, keeper of the feminine mysteries. The Moonstone is a talisman for the inward journey, and meditation with it can take one deep into the self.  Sometimes referred to as “the traveler’s stone”, many people bring a few moonstones with them when they travel, especially when going over water. They are believed to provide protection and bring good luck when traveling.

One increasingly popular moonstone meaning is its ability to increase fertility, aligning hormone production, the menstrual cycle and the reproductive system. In the words of Energy Muse co-founder, Heather Askinosie, “I love Moonstone. Moonstone is very powerful since it is aligned with the energy of the moon, which has a feminine energy. When I was trying to get pregnant, I wore moonstone stone jewelry and every full moon, I would pray holding the moonstones in my hands, asking God to bless me with a baby. Then, I would leave the moonstone jewelry outside, overnight, to soak up the energy of the moon.”
