Moonstone, often associated with the divine feminine, is believed to harness the energy of the moon, bringing calm, balance and intuition to its wearer. In both ancient India and Rome, the moonstone was believed to be created mystically from the rays of moonlight.
The Romans believed that the appearance of the moonstone changed with the waxing and waning of the moon, even believing that their moon goddess Diana was depicted in each moonstone.
A recurring theme in moonstone mythology is divination, as it is considered a feminine or "goddess" gemstone.
This gemstone is said to soothe emotional instability, stress and hormonal imbalances, while promoting inspiration and enhancing psychic abilities. Moonstone connects beautifully with the heart chakra, the third eye chakra and the crown chakra, the two chakras that invite us to look deep within so that we can see far beyond the limits of our own periphery.
As a Cancerian Moon child and airy Aquarius it is my favorite stone since my grandfather introduced me to it , yes not the other way around and for a strict reason - each stone he said has much longer life than us - humans-they have seen humans before us and will see those after us ,this is why we should be introduced to them ..- it was more than 40 years ago and another story…

Why is it good to wear a moonstone?
Moonstone improves the quality of sleep. It has the function of receiving and "giving" love. If it is combined with granite, its action is enhanced and communication with people is improved. In personal life, this stone skillfully protects romantic feelings. It is recommended to be worn in the area of the heart, and ornaments made of moonstone are extremely popular among women, but could also be worn by men. These stones have the ability to protect their owners while on the road, therefore they are a wonderful gift for someone who spends a lot of time behind the wheel.
Moonstone also manages to balance emotions, taming and calming overly violent and impulsive reactions. Facilitates steadfastness and strengthens emotional connections with the higher self. It helps its owner to see all the possibilities and break away from their limited understandings, if any. It also removes emotional blockages between lovers and helps them communicate better and easily.
Another reason to wear this amazing stone is the belief that it brings riches and also greatly sharpens intuition - mainly that associated with making predictions. The stone is suitable for women to wear because it helps them connect with the Goddess and the feminine aspect of human nature. It helps both women and men to open the doors of the subconscious, but only to those who really want to achieve high spiritual development. As these doors will be closed, however, to those who are not ready for it. Moonstone helps by making the connection with our guides easier. You can use it to recall spiritual experiences from past lives.
If, however, you are of a highly sensitive nature, it is better not to wear this stone during a full moon, as it is likely that you will open yourself to other worlds to such an extent that you will become very upset. In the event that you wear a moonstone, prepare to gain access to secret information that some other person or certain event will not wish to be revealed.
It is also believed that if a barren tree is decorated with a moonstone during a New Moon, it will regain its fertility. It is not necessary to wear the talisman constantly though, but mainly during the full moon and the new moon, because when the moon is in one of its other phases, the stone can turn into an energy vampire and instead of helping you it is more likely to harm you.
But like everything in Nature this stone could be a good magic or a bad magic,it mainly depends on the person and the intentions.
