Crystal of the Week.
Crystals have been used for centuries as powerful tools for healing, spiritual growth, and personal transformation. We are delving into our crystal pouch this week and have picked out this exceptional stone.
Moonstone and their iridescent shimmer or cat’s eye are from the Feldspar variety of minerals and you can find them in many colours, typically… white, cream, peach, and black. The rarest being a clear moonstone. The iridescent shimmer or adularescence is due to the different types of feldspar minerals layering and reflecting light, allowing for that beautiful shimmer effect.
Moonstones emit healing properties and are known as new beginnings stones, bringing good fortune and inspiration to the wearer. Moonstones are strongly connected to both feminine energy and the moon.
It can also help you maintain calmness and clarity in life. Additionally, the gem heals and improves mental well-being and has been associated with good fortune and luck.
As the moonstone is associated with the third eye chakra, when wearing the moonstone the pineal gland is stimulated allowing for hormonal rebalancing, thus improving PMT and menopause symptoms.
Astrology signs Virgo and Libra benefit from wearing the moonstone as it’s associated with the month of September. If your lucky number or birth number is 4, this crystal is the one you should have attached to your attire.
Signs Gemini and Aries should be aware of the Moonstone’s ability to cause impulsiveness, creating the risk of poor decision-making. This is due to both these zodiac signs having an innate predisposition for being scattered and unfocused already.
To re-energise the beautiful moonstone place it directly in line with the moon, preferably a full moon to absorb the moon’s natural energy. Furthermore, if you feel that negative energies are trapped within your moonstone, smudge with sage to purge any undesirable energies.
