☽ MOONSTONE: is a very personal stone. It is a reflection of the person who owns it. It does not add or detract, only shows that which is. Moonstone is an excellent stone to use in meditation to understand oneself. It has a tangible connection to the magic of the moon and is an amulet of protection for travelers, a gift of lovers for passion, a channel for prophecy, and a path to wisdom. Our ties to the moon are strong, as it waxes and wanes in cyclic perfection, it creates the tides and rhythms of our mother, Earth, and influences our behaviors, emotions and spiritual growth. Moonstone calms and encourages, teaching us the natural rhythms of life. Cleansing it in the moonlight of a moon reaching its fullness, not a full or waning moon, can revitalize it. This is a particularly good gemstone for women.
