Raw moonstone is the most authentic form of this mineral. Unpolished and untrimmed, it retains its natural texture and original milky veil, with pearlescent reflections that appear when it is turned in the light. There is something very moving about holding a raw moonstone in your hand: you feel its softness immediately, even before talking about energy.
In lithotherapy, many practitioners prefer the raw form for healing sessions or meditation, as the intact crystalline structure is believed to promote a more direct and deeper diffusion of energy.
Placed on a bedside table, raw moonstone accompanies sleep and promotes lucid dreams. In a living space, it brings a soothing softness to the atmosphere.
Held in the hand during meditation, it helps to reconnect with one's intuition and deep emotions. It is also a stone traditionally linked to feminine cycles, which many women keep close to them daily. For maintenance, rinsing with clear water and recharging in moonlight once or twice a month is sufficient.
