Rainbow Moonstone
Rainbow Moonstone has been used in jewellery for thousands of years. It is said to provide psychic protection, clearing the mind and senses, and to aid in lucid dreaming. It is primarily a talisman of the inner journey, taking one deep into the self to bring light to the darkness of one’s personal night.
Since earliest times, Moonstone has been a tangible connection to the magic of the moon - an amulet of protection for travelers, a gift of lovers for passion, a channel for prophecy, and a path to wisdom, deflecting negativity and easing emotional trauma.
Named for its moon-like sheen, Moonstone is a Feldspar mineral exhibiting a soft, watery opaqueness and a silvery-white reflection called chatoyancy that moves as a line across the surface as light varies.
