All About Moonstone

We know this time has been a hard one for everyone, and we know that things have been pretty stagnant in peoples’ lives right now, but we think a little insight on April’s Crystal of the Month can help motivate you and get you moving forward again!

Say hello to Moonstone!

March was all about spring cleaning, decluttering your life, and making a sacred space for yourself. Now that we’re sliding into April, you can use that sacred space to retreat to and do some healing and therapeutic meditation with moonstone. With all the social distancing and the current quarantine situation, you may be feeling a little stir crazy, or you may even be drawing into yourself more. Depression thrives on situations such as these, but you don’t have to let it! Let moonstone help you heal, and when you meditate, think to the future and what you want as the outcome. Think positive thoughts and give yourself something to work towards again. There’s no room for fear and doubt with moonstone by your side.

Moonstone is also a great crystal for reminding you to just go with the flow. Nothing lasts forever and this, too, will pass. Instead of letting things get you worked up, let it roll off your shoulders. We know that it’s sometimes easier said than done but keeping this crystal around might help. It’s also good for opening the heart chakra, so wearing it as a necklace, with the crystal over your heart, will help you to be more receptive to your feelings. It’s a mascot for your inner journey of self-discovery and will help you dive deep into your own soul to find and fit those missing puzzle pieces.

This crystal has been popular to craft into jewelry for about two thousand years now and is seen to have special meaning with lovers. It’s a traditional wedding gift in India as it is believed to bring luck in love. In Europe, it was believed that two people wearing moonstone during a full moon would fall madly in love with each other. It’s also said that moonstone could be used to reconcile estranged lovers.

Don’t forget to pack this crystal with you when you’re finally able to travel again; it’s been dubbed the Traveler’s Stone for the protection it offers to travelers, especially during the nighttime hours. It’s recommended to keep a piece of moonstone in your glove compartment when on a road trip as a good luck charm for save travels and a protection against road rage.
