Mooney over Moonstone

/photo.cms?msid=4374126 There is something truly hypnotic and soothing about the Moonstone. A long gaze at it and a sense of peace envelope one’s soul, when held against the light it twinkles likes a rainbow and when placed against skin the comfort felt is like the hug of a long lost loved one.

The stone not only evokes lyrical devotion but has some strong healing properties as well. Hailed for hundreds of years as the woman’s stone, it’s feminine beauty is supposed to bring out the moon like qualities of the Moon goddess in the person who wears it. An excellent aid for fertility or for enhancing inner feminity, this milky white stone can also be used as a psychic aide and protector.
Moonstone is a milky translucent stone and comes in white, cream, yellow, blue and green colour and is easily available in India, Sri Lanka and Australia. It is also known as water opal, fish eye, wolf’s eye and chandrakanta.

Ideal as a pendant or ring, it works as a balancer of moods, soother of stress, and offers deep emotional release of pent up emotions like anger and pain. Being strongly affiliated with the moon, this beautiful stone can also substitute pearl in astrology, as it is closely related in properties and power.

Moonstone works very well with amethyst and can be placed under the pillow to aid insomnia and absorb stress. Since it is linked with the pineal gland, and balances the hormonal system, it is helpful in calming hyperactive children, and relieving PMS symptoms.

Ideal for women of all ages, moonstone works well when cleansed gently under running water and rubbed softly with cotton wool.
