Moon stone is a fine stone which perfectly reflects the light of the moon. It is very popular in lithotherapy for its beauty, but also for its many virtues.
She who symbolizes the dream and the unconscious is mainly characterized by its silvery reflections that immediately catch the eye.
Its benefits are especially associated with women who suffer from fertility problems or from dysregulation of menstruation. It is also widely used for allay anxieties and stimulate creativity.
It is here and now that our overview of the moon stone...
_______________
It is enough to look at the history of our ancestors to understand the importance of the moonstone in the history. This stone has always generated a lot of fascination by its great resemblance to the clarity of the moon.
The moonstone was discovered by Jean-Claude Delamétherie in 1801.
Under Antiquity already it was considered an object of divination and represented the stone of the goddesses. Some even thought that by putting a moon stone in their mouth they would receive a celestial clairvoyance, a vision of their future in love.
Indian and Roman civilizationshave always thought that this stone was a natural creation due to the rays of the moon, by its color and its reflections. Moonstone is still today a sacred stone in India.
Contrary to the information that can sometimes be found on the net, you should know that the moonstones that adorn the thresholds of Buddhist temples in Sri Lanka have nothing to do with the stone presented to you here. These friezes presented in semi-circles symbolize access to knowledge and nirvana.
With the emergence of Art Nouveau,we find the use of moonstone for making decorative objects. Likewise, René Lalique was inspired by the time of nature to design jewelry that would become very fashionable. Lalique also still manufactures jewelry with this stone.
In the 2000s,this stone was officially declared by the State of Florida, paying homage to the first step on the moon in 1969.
Still widely used today, you can find the moon stone in many forms of jewelry : cabochons, bracelets, necklaces, pendants ... But also, through decorative objects.

The most exploited deposits are relatively isolated and are found in Sri Lanka and India. It can also be found in other countries such as Madagascar, Burma, Tanzania, the United States, Brazil, Australia ...
When you wear it on yourself, this stone brings many benefits both physical and spiritual. Let's discover these main virtues together.

To keep all its beauty and especially all these virtues, it is essential to maintain your stone well.
You can place it under demineralized water, spring water or running water. Moonstone does not like salt, so there is no need to salt the water used for its purification.
Place your stone for several hours in the light of the moon, it's even better if it's a full moon night!
