Moonstone - Birthstone for June

Moonstone is the birthstone of those born in June.

Why do we love it so much?

Almost all of the moonstone that is set in jewellery is actually rainbow moonstone. It’s slightly different from moonstone, in that it has a milky white appearance and shows flashes of iridescent blue and other colours when light catches the stone, hence the name rainbow.This colour play has made rainbow moonstone one of our most popular stones.

What’s so special about Moonstone?

In ancient Rome it was thought that the light of the moon was captured by the stone, and that the phases of the moon could be seen in the stone, hence the name, Moonstone.

What’s it good for?

Moonstone’s association with the lunar cycle is said to make it a powerful talisman for women. It is said to ease childbirth, enhance fertility, promote pregnancy and relieve menstrual discomfort.

It is also used to enhance feminine energy and help heal emotional distress, bringing calmness to the wearer.

Moonstone is also a prized gift for lovers. It is also thought to arouse passions and give lovers the power to see their future together.

Moonstone prevents jet lag and provides safe travel, especially over water and at night.
