Hauntingly beautiful, moonstones can have many different body colors but show a distinctive, billowy, blue to white moonlight-like sheen known as adularescence.
White or clear moonstone is said to help wearers achieve balance, particularly females.
Not surprisingly, moonstones have many symbolic connections with the Moon. Since ancient times, travelers have used this gemstone as a protective talisman. Moonstone jewelry has also been used to alleviate anxiety, depression, and insomnia. It may also promote creativity.
Some believe this gemstone can help combat the ailments of both childhood and old age, just like the Moon both waxes and wanes.
