Black Moonstone

Moonstone is a type of feldspar. The best pieces often have chatoyancy or flashes which is caused by two different types of feldspar growing into each other. Moonstone was given its name by the Romans who believed it was formed by the moonlight. It can be found in lots of different colours including peach, green and rainbow.

The energy of moonstone vibrates higher during the waxing moon and can smooth out the ups and downs caused by the moon’s cycle. It is a good stone to use during the new moon if you are focusing on new beginnings or setting new intentions. Black moonstone is good at helping you to reflect inwards, particularly during times of change and flux. Black moonstone is good for empaths as it can help you to reduce overstimulation caused by absorbing the energy of others. Sleep with a piece of black moonstone under your pillow during a full moon to help you to remember your dreams and understand the messages from them.
