Rainbow Moonstone Wire Wrapped Pendant

Quick Healing Overview: As ancient as the moon itself, Moonstone holds the power of mystery. Moonstone opens the heart to nurturing qualities as well as assisting in the acceptance of love. It is an excellent crystal for first or new love and is a comforting talisman if love must be kept a secret. It was also believed to be able to reunite loved ones who had parted in anger. Moonstone bestows a depth of feeling, a gentleness within the self that brings happiness to the environment in which it resides. Associated with the feminine, it enhances the intuitive side of the mind.

Birthstone & Zodiac Uses: Moonstone is the traditional birthstone of June, along with Pearl. Moonstone is not one of the natural birthstones, being white. Moonstone is the zodiac stone for those born under the sign of Cancer in early summer, from the summer solstice on June 21 to July 22.

For Chakra Balancing: Moonstone is associated with the Crown Chakra. The Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head and gives us access to higher states of consciousness. When the Crown Chakra is out of balance or blocked, you will be rigid in your thinking and spiritually adrift. You will have difficulty understanding relationships, ideas, and dreams.

Crystal Color Energy: Moonstones carry White color energy, the embodiment of cleanliness, purity, unity, and innocence. The timeless, natural powers of the white rays are those of the moon, the color we see when the moon reflects the sun’s light to us. It is the color of natural cycles, birth, and regeneration – the feminine gender, manifested as the Goddess in many cultures. Just as the moon is our only illumination in the dark world of night, white talismans are of the spiritual world that is sensed but not seen, the guides to understanding and knowledge we don’t even know exist.

Associated Goddesses: Moonstone honors Cerridwen, the Welsh Goddess of Inspiration and Knowledge. Moonstone honors Hanwi, The Sioux Moon Goddess, and Nyx, the Greek Goddess of the Night. Moonstone also honors Selene, the Greek Moon Goddess, and Diana, the Roman Goddess of the Moon, and Protector of Animals.
Feng Shui Uses: Moonstone utilizes Metal energy, the energy of intelligence, contraction, healing, and creativity. Use white crystal energy to enhance any space that you use for concentration, gathering strength, or working with a group. Metal energy is traditionally associated with the northwest and west areas of a home or room. It is associated with the Helpful People and Blessings, and Travel area of your life and dwelling, and with the Creativity and Children area.

Uses in Divination: The Divinatory meaning of Moonstone: Now is the time to speak what is in your heart.

Talisman Energy: Moonstone is a powerful Barrier Filter. Barrier crystals have incredible abilities to help us focus and amplify our efforts to keep undesirable elements out of our lives. Its crystalline structure gives it strength in all directions, allowing it to provide barriers to attack from all directions simultaneously. Crystals with the earth power of a Filter, absorb positive energy flow but work to keep negative energy away from us. They help us view the world in a “glass half full” outlook, to see the best in others, the beauty in life, and the good in humanity. They keep us focused on the positive in situations and not be overwhelmed by the negative. In our technological world, Filters also work to keep harmful electromagnetic transmissions from sapping our energy and health.

What Other Crystal Authors Think: In ancient lore, Moonstone was a talismanic gem of winter, and in Oriental culture was known as a “phenomenal gem” to be worn on Mondays. Phenomenal gems exhibited a moving line, star, or changes on the surface as the light varied, and were considered to bring good fortune to the wearer. In observance of wedding anniversaries, Moonstones were considered the gift of choice in the thirteenth year. For this number, and for succeeding multiples of thirteen, the gem was believed to counteract the evil influence of the number. Moonstone is the object of special veneration in history as a sacred stone of India. According to earliest traditions, the stone had been set, from the beginning of time, on the forehead of the four-handed god of the moon. Partly from its color, and partly from the influence of the deity it represented, it grew and lessened in luster simultaneously with the waxing and waning of the moon, gaining it the name it still bears, “The Moon-Stone.”
