Crystal Information
See the feldspar, albite, and adularia sections for additional properties. Moonstone is a stone of new beginnings. Like the moon, this stone is reflective and reminds us that just as the moon waxes and wanes, so everything is a part of a cycle of change. This stone makes conscious the unconscious and promotes intuition and empathy. Moonstone can be used to enhance psychic abilities. It calms overreactions to situations and emotional triggers, and stabilizes the emotions.
