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 the moon.

In ancient times, it was believed that moonstone was actually pieces of solidified moon that had arrived on Earth. However, the name moonstone is purely a commercial term.

The scientific name for this stone is adularia. In fact, during the 18th century, a significant deposit of this adularia stone was located on Mount Adula, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Unfortunately, this deposit is now depleted.

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