Silvery white moonstone protects the energy field of emotions
On a silent night, the moonlight gently shines on the earth. The moonlight is so soft. Although not as dazzling as the sun, it has a quiet power. The moonstone in the hand seems to be silently responding to this tenderness from the sky. The ancient Romans firmly believed that moonstone contained the mysteries of the moon and thought that moonstone was the embodiment of solidified moonlight, so they associated moonstone with their moon god. René Lari, a famous French jewelry designer, also used a lot of moonstone in his jewelry creation career. It can be said that moonstone has been used as ornaments for thousands of years.
A little knowledge about moonstone
The English name of moonstone is moonstone , and its scientific name is feldspar. Feldspar has many varieties, among which blue moonstone is an excellent one, and the orthoclase moonstone with a white luster is colorful, ranging from brown, yellow, orange, white to colorless. Gem enthusiasts call this type of adularia "rainbow moonstone." Regardless of the type of moonstone, the luster it exudes is caused by diffraction inside the gemstone. After polishing, the moonstone will have the famous cat's eye effect. Moonstone is widely distributed in Australia, the Austrian Alps, Mexico, and Madagascar. Historically, the highest valued and most precious moonstone came from Burma, but today most commercial moonstone comes from Sri Lanka.

Moonstone Buying Guide
If you want to buy white crystal, you can first understand the grade of moonstone. Like other crystals, the fewer the inclusions, the higher the grade of the clear crystal. Likewise, for moonstones of the same quality, the larger the size, the higher the price. It should be noted that artificial moonstone will be relatively monotonous and rigid in color, while natural moonstone can show a gradient of color when viewed from different angles. If you come across some moonstones that have almost no inclusions when viewed with the naked eye but are very affordable, you need to be more careful.
Precautions for wearing moonstone
Should we wear moonstone on the left or right hand? According to the principle of "left in and right out", the left side is for absorbing energy and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the left is yang; while the right side is for expelling filth, and the right is yin, which expels turbid air and disease from the body. Moonstone is a gem that can be worn on both hands. If worn on the left hand, it can help us stabilize our emotions; if worn on the right hand, it can help us repair relationships and enhance our own charm.
When we keep moonstone, we should avoid direct sunlight. Strong light will cause the crystal to change color and affect the energy field. If you want to purify the moonstone, it is recommended to use clean water or place it in a demagnetizing stone for purification. The purification effect will be better if it is left overnight. We can also purify white crystal through moonlight, allowing the moonstone to fully absorb the essence of nature. Moonstone can also be cleansed by smoking sage or palo santo. The cleaning time does not need to be long, about half a minute to a minute is enough. There are already many experienced enthusiasts of other crystals who can use crystal gravel or crystal clusters to purify moonstone, which takes about half a day to one night.
At the same time, be sure to take off the citrine when doing strenuous exercise or physical labor to avoid scratches caused by collision. At the same time, avoid contact with chemicals and wipe off any sweat that comes into contact with it in time. The hardness of moonstone is not as high as other crystals. After taking it off, it is best to place it separately in a storage bag to avoid collision and scratches from other jewelry.
