MOONSTONE & LITHOTHERAPY

What is moonstone in lithotherapy?

Moonstone or hecatolite (Jean-Claude Delametherie 1801) is an adular variety of orthoclase, group of silicates, subgroup of tectosilicates, family of feldspars. To benefit from the term “moonstone” the adularia must have silvery or bluish reflections reminiscent of the light of the moon, linked to the crystalline structure of this mineral. Reflections in the mineral are caused by the optical phenomenon of adularescence. The most sought-after pieces are those that have no yellowish connotation. Its perfect cleavage (which gives the name of the species (orthoclase) makes it a stone sensitive to shocks. It is mainly cut in cabochon.

The benefits : Intuition, gentleness, femininity, meditation, balance, harmony, tolerance.

Astrological signs : Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn.

Chakra : Sacred.
