The Moon in June
What’s more romantic than the moon? Wearing one on your finger.
A gemstone said to be surrounded by mystique and magic, the moonstone is made from the feldspar mineral that covers much of the earth. However, the moonstone is thought of as the most famous and intriguing of all feldspar gems to be found.
Moonstones are known to have a fascinating white or bluish silver haze around the perimeter, which brings a mysterious shimmer that people once believed showed the crescent and waning phases of the moon. The glowing light that reflects off the stone, then scattering in many directions, is called adularescence, an optical phenomenon most commonly seen in the moonstone.
These gemstones, which are traditionally transparent, are originally from Sri Lanka and India. In India, the moonstone is considered a magical and holy gem, that was also named the “dream stone” because it would bring the wearer beautiful visions at night. Ancients believed the moonstones to be pebbles that had fallen from the moon.
Others believe the moonstone strengthens are emotional and subconscious aspects, making it a “lovers stone” that evokes tender feelings as well as “safeguarding the true joys of love.” (This explains why a full moon guarantees romance.)
Lucky people born in April, June, August, or October can claim the moonstone as their birthstone. The stone can also belong to those born under the sign of Cancer or Sagittarius as their astral gem.
