There is something truly hypnotic and soothing about the moonstone. Gaze at it for a little longer and feel a sense of peace envelope your soul. Hold it against the light and smile when a rainbow twinkles out at you. Place it against your skin, and feel instantly comforted, like the hug of a long lost loved one.
Before I wax lyrical over this marvelous stone, allow me to share its healing properties. Hailed for hundreds of years as the woman’s stone, its feminine beauty is supposed to bring out the moon like qualities of the Moon goddess in its wearer. An excellent aid for fertility or for enhancing inner feminity, this milky white stone can also be used as an excellent psychic aide and protector.
Available in white, cream, yellow, blue, green, this milky translucent stone is easily available and hails from India, Sri Lanka and Australia. It is also known as water opal, fish eye, wolf’s eye and chandrakanta. Ideal as a pendant or ring, it works as a balancer of moods, soother of stress, and offers deep emotional release of pent up emotions like anger and pain. Being strongly affiliated with the moon, this beautiful stone can also substitute pearl in astrology, as it is closely related in properties and power.
Moonstone works very well with amethyst and can be placed under the pillow to aid insomnia and absorb stress. Since it is linked with the pineal gland, and balances the hormonal system, it is helpful in calming hyperactive children, and relieving PMS symptoms.
Ideal for women of all ages, moonstone works well when cleansed gently under running water and rubbed softly with cotton wool.
