The magic of moonstone Posted May 11, 2021 | By Mikaelah Egan The aptly named moonstone has been associated with the moon across various cultures throughout history. In Hindu mythology, moonstone is believed to be made of solidified moonbeams.
This gemstone has the ability to interact with light in such a way that it resembles moonlight shining across the ocean or through a veil of clouds. Historically, legends tell of moonstone bringing its wearer good luck.
The captivating gem is generally semi- transparent to translucent, displaying a milky, silvery white sheen through to the more desirable blue sheen.
This blue, in a more transparent stone, is the most valuable, sought-after, and difficult to source form of moonstone. Other colours include beige, brown, yellow, reddish- brown, greenish, orange, and grey.
