Moonstone Meaning & Benefits

The stone of intuition and new beginnings

Moonstone shimmers with a soft, floating light called adularescence, like moonlight on water. In India it has long been considered sacred, and it has been linked with the moon, femininity and cycles in many cultures.

It is a gentle, intuitive stone for new beginnings and emotional balance.

Care

How to cleanse & charge Moonstone

Cleanse your crystal when it first arrives, then every few weeks or whenever it feels dull.

  1. Rinse

    Hold it under cool running water for a minute, then pat it completely dry.

  2. Smoke

    Pass it through the smoke of incense, sage or palo santo while setting a clear intention.

  3. Moonlight

    Recharge it overnight under the moon. Avoid long hours in direct sun, which can fade its colour.

  4. Selenite plate

    Rest it on a Selenite plate overnight, one of the easiest ways to cleanse and recharge any crystal.
