Moonstone
"The Stone of New Beginnings"
|
|
|
by Raven |
|
|
Moonstone is a “stone of new beginnings” strongly connected to the moon and to the intuition, and traditionally used to enhance psychic abilities and to develop clairvoyance. The association of Moonstone with the lunar cycle is said to make it a powerful talisman for women and their sexual organ.
Moonstone is popular and most prized of the Plagioclase Feldspar Group and has been used as a semi-precious stone. Oligoclase is a member of the Plagioclase Feldspar Group. Oligoclase by definition must contain 90-70% sodium to 10-30% calcium in the sodium/calcium position of the crystal structure. The various plagioclase feldspars are identified from each other by gradations in index of refraction and density in the absence of chemical analysis and/or optical measurements.
Popularly known under the names of sunstone and moonstone; Sunstone has flashes of reddish color caused by inclusions of hematite and Moonstone shows a glowing shimmer similar to labradorescence, but lacking in color. The display is produced from lamellar intergrowths inside the crystal. Adularescence is the moving “cloud of light” effect of Moonstone and Mineralogist calls it “schiller” which is caused by tiny crystals of Albite arranged in layers within the stone. A ray of light entering a layer and being refracted back and forth by deeper layers before it exits the crystal causes the resulting shimmer effect. This refracted ray has a different character than when it went in and produces the moonlike glow.

History, Myth, Legend and Lore:
Pliny, Roman Historian - state that the “shining with a yellow luster from a colorless ground containing the image of the moon, if true daily waxes and wanes according to the state of the luminary”.
Marbodus – believes the same phenomenon and adds the ability of the stone to mimic the phases of the moon, which was considered a sacred sign.
Antoine Mizauld (16th century writer)- performed experiments with a moonstone owned by Pope Leo X (1475 – 1521). He recorded the changing size and position of a point of light in the stone and concluded a direct correspondence existed to the lunar cycle.
India – moonstone was considered a sacred stone and thought to bring good fortune and remained a prized gift for lovers. It arouses passions and gave lovers the power to see their future together. The stone was said to ease childbirth, enhances fertility, promotes pregnancy, relieves menstrual discomfort and increases lactation.

Raven is a Pacific Islander born and raised in the Philippines. She has a degree in Bachelor of Science and Business Administration and attended two years of graduate school. Raven lives with her husband and son in Las Vegas, Nevada. She created an e-commerce business, Raven Crystals guided with love, intuition, and the spiritual magical energy of the Raven.
Raven is a Reiki Level 3 Practitioner and a student of Quantum Touch Healing. She channels Reiki Energy daily for distant healings and practices hands on healing several times a week.
Raven became interested in healing stones when she first became a student of Reiki. She was delighted with the beauty and qualities of the stones and decided she wanted to share them with friends and family. She began purchasing stones and studying the healing properties of each stone. Her desire grew and she wanted to provide unique, rare and hard to find items, as they were the most intriguing in shape and have such radiant colors along with their extraordinary energy and healing properties.
Raven has created an e-commerce business with the intention of sending Love, Light and Peace to everyone receiving Earth’s children from the mineral kingdom. She personally selects each specimen and provides an abundance of information about each crystal and mineral on display.
Raven has created several one of a kind new age products; Raven Energy Wands, the Antahkarana Grid with crystals and minerals and several display ideas found only at Raven Crystals.
