About this Gemstone
The silvery grey moonstone radiates quiet elegance. With its subtle shimmer in cool grey and silver tones, it embodies emotional maturity, inner balance, and trust in life’s natural rhythm. It reminds us that true strength often lies in stillness.
Historical Background
Moonstone has long been regarded as a gem of the feminine, the cyclical, and the transitional. In ancient cultures – especially in India, Mesopotamia, and Rome – it was used in rituals to enhance intuition and as a protective stone during times of change. The silvery grey variety, with its delicate glow, was treasured by priests and priestesses alike for its subtle yet deeply grounding presence.
Effect & Meaning
This moonstone promotes emotional balance and soothes inner restlessness. It strengthens the connection to one’s intuition and encourages a composed response to external influences. In phases of transition or introspection, it serves as a calm anchor – clarifying, comforting, and stabilizing.
Color Play & Structure
Its hues range from soft silvery grey to smoky tones with hints of bluish iridescence. The delicate shimmer – known as adularescence – glides over the surface like moonlight on water. Each structure, each flow of light, is unique, lending the stone its quiet depth and mystique.
