It is a captivating gemstone with a stunning blue shimmer that has been prized for centuries for its beauty, elegance, and connection to the divine feminine. In this blog post, we will explore the fascinating world of Moonstone, its history, and the different meanings behind it.

History of Moonstone

Moonstone has a rich and fascinating history, dating back to ancient civilisations. The Romans believed that Moonstone was formed from the light of the moon and that it had the power to bring good fortune and protect its wearer from harm. Roman historian Pliny believed the gem's name, and believed that the colour shifted based on the current phase of the moon. In India, Moonstone was considered sacred and was believed to have healing powers. It was also a popular choice for jewellery among the ancient Greeks and Romans.
