Moonstone
Birthstone: June
Anniversary: 3rd
Known for its mesmerizing "adularescence"—that ethereal light that seems to dance across its surface—moonstone was named by Roman historian Pliny, who believed its appearance changed with the moon's phases. Found in dreamy whites, warm peaches, sophisticated browns, and grays with rainbow flashes, the finest specimens show enchanting blue flashes that seem to glow from within. Primarily mined in India and Sri Lanka, with additional sources in Brazil and Madagascar, each stone captures light in its own magical way.
Hindu mythology claims moonstone is composed of solidified moonbeams, connecting it to Roman and Greek lunar deities throughout history. This gem's otherworldly beauty makes it perfect for pieces that celebrate the mysterious and feminine—jewelry that seems to hold captured starlight and brings an element of celestial wonder to everyday wear.
