Moonstones, gems named for their resemblance to the familiar glowing orb in the
night sky, offer us more than mere beauty. Their association with moon
goddesses throughout the world may explain why moonstones’ qualities seem to
reach out to assist all those who find themselves under the moon’s light,
from travelers and those at sea to lovers and dreamers. Throughout the world,
moonstones have been imbued with mystical properties that extend the fabled
powers of the moon into daylight hours.
In India, they are thought to give sweet, beautiful dreams by night but have
gained a reputation for enhancing intuitive sensitivity and spiritual vision
of the “third eye” at any time of the day. This connection to the
subconscious was also recognized in the Middle Ages in Europe, where it was
believed that gazing into a moonstone would cause you to fall into a deep
sleep that allowed you to see the future. This extends to the power of
fertility, where in Arabia, women sew moonstones into their garments to
enhance their fertility. This association with fertility even extends to the
fertility of crops, which is why moonstone amulets have been seen hanging in
fruit trees before harvest. To further enhance the power of your moonstone,
try putting them outside in the light of the full moon.
Moonstones, sometimes likened to a raindrop or tear, have long reminded
people in Asia that the moon cannot be seen during the rain, just as it is
difficult to see through our tears. By bringing love and abundance into our
lives today and helping us to see the future, moonstones allow us to bring
the hope of all good things into our lives.
