The origin of the name moonstone comes from distant civilizations that named stones based on their natural appearance or physical characteristics.

Moonstone was named for its striking resemblance to the moon. This stone has a soft color with pearly reflections similar to those of the moon.

In ancient times, there was a belief that moonstone was actually pieces of solidified moon that arrived on Earth. However, this name moonstone is a purely commercial designation.

The scientific name for this stone is adularia. Indeed, during the 18th century, a significant deposit of this adularia stone was found on Mount Adula, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Nowadays, this deposit is unfortunately exhausted.

Moonstone is also called Hecatolite in honor of Hecate, goddess of the Moon in Greek mythology.

No matter what name is given to this stone, it maintains a close connection with the moon, which gives it many virtues.

Regardless of civilizations, the Moon and the Sun have always fascinated our ancestors. They attributed a celestial power to moonstones.

They gave her many offerings hoping to receive the power of clairvoyance and protection. This stone was a symbol of fertility and passion.

In ancient Rome, femininity and the gift of clairvoyance were associated with moonstone. At the same time, this stone represented Diana, goddess of the moon and animals. It had the power to change friendly feelings into loving feelings. It also protected couples.

In the Middle Ages, this moonstone was very popular with women who attributed to it the power to increase fertility and maintain passion. Subsequently, this stone protected the pregnant woman and her fetus during pregnancy.

In Egypt, night travelers wore a moonstone pendant to protect them from possible attacks and to fight against evil spirits.
