Who should wear a moonstone?

Admiring the cold, flickering glow of the moonstone, I want to believe that this gem is really a messenger from distant Galaxies, an alien from outer space. But despite its unearthly beauty, the mineral is of completely earthly origin. Moonstone was formed in the depths of our planet and belongs to the group of feldspars. The first place where the amazing mineral was discovered was a mountain in Switzerland called Adul, in honor of which the valuable find was named “adular.” Fragile and delicate with a deep moonlight, the stone is highly valued by jewelers all over the world.

Description

Adularia is a transparent or translucent rare natural mineral; it belongs to the group of semi-precious stones. It owes its unusual lunar glow to its peculiar thin-plate crystal lattice. Rays of light refracting at the edges create the effect of inner radiance. The surface of the gem emits a glass or silk shine. Moonstone has many colors: white, gray, purple, peach, pink, green, blue, yellow. There are also colorless, transparent “uniques”, but the most popular are rainbow-colored specimens. These are delicate crystals that shimmer in gray and blue with a high degree of shine.

History of the stone

If you believe ancient mythology, the moonstone is a petrified ray of the heavenly night body. Indian sages endowed the gem with the ability to bestow mystical powers, control fate, and discover the unknown. In India today, adularia is considered a magical symbol of happy love and good luck. To the Greeks, moonstone revealed what an ordinary person could not see. In every nation where a mysterious gem appeared, it became overgrown with myths and legends. The main deposits of the stone are concentrated in India and Burma. Mining is carried out in Brazil, Tanzania, Mexico, and Madagascar. In Russia, deposits of adularia were found near St. Petersburg.

Magical properties

• make a person gentle and merciful;
• add patience, sensuality;
• relieve stress, get out of depression;
• move away from conflict situations.

But the main purpose of the moonstone is to attract true love to its owner, get rid of loneliness, and help in preserving the most beautiful feeling. In order for this ability of the gem to manifest itself most strongly, astrologers recommend wearing a product made of natural stone on the left side of the chest, closer to the heart. For a woman, a brooch with a delicate adularia would be an excellent solution.

If a moonstone falls into the hands of a notorious egoist, a closed and callous person, he will still strive to teach a person to love, to open his heart to true feelings and the path to happiness. In such a situation, the ring with the lunar treasure should be worn on the finger of the left hand.

Medicinal properties

Adular is an excellent “psychotherapist”. It has been observed that the stone extinguishes outbursts of anger, controls the emotional state, helps overcome depression, and improves mood. A natural healer is able to reduce the number of epileptic seizures and relieve insomnia.

Astrologers claim that the stone has a mysterious connection with the Moon. People with unstable psyches are susceptible to changes in the phases of the lunar cycle. The gem stabilizes the mental state of such patients and significantly improves their quality of life. Supports adularia and people with diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Moonstone has a particularly beneficial effect on the fair sex. It helps them in love, motherhood, takes away fatigue, restores energy, and reveals hidden talents.

How to distinguish a natural stone from a fake

To make an imitation moonstone, glass or plastic is used. They are tinted, repeating the colors of the adularia. But it is possible to distinguish such a fake:

• the fake quickly heats up from the heat of the hands;
• Crystals created by nature have air bubbles and voids inside. A fake has no flaws;
• The surface of natural stone is silky and pleasant to the touch, contact with it soothes and gives a feeling of calm. Glass or plastic are not capable of generating emotions;
• if you place a natural gem in water, it becomes brighter, colors appear more clearly, and new, previously invisible shades appear. The fake behaves more modestly, it simply becomes cleaner.

In addition to helping in matters of the heart, adularia is considered a talisman for travelers. A stone set in silver will help you easily overcome the path and return home safely. In a similar way, a mysterious amulet helps us on the path of life; with its unique ghostly radiance it points in the right direction to happiness.

Moonstone in silver and gold jewelry has been popular for periods. For example, in the early 90s, fashionistas all over the world hunted for products with moonstone and bought it “under the counter.” A few years later it completely disappeared from sale. But exactly a year ago, world jewelry brands again paid attention to such an unusual stone, making it the “highlight” of many collections. As a result, buyer interest grew again, and jewelry companies did not have time to respond to their desires. The online store Crystal Shop and the Ukrainian manufacturer Kristall Artdeco quickly picked up the trend and created a lot of jewelry made of 925 sterling silver with moonstone.

There is also another legend. People believed that the moonstone had an origin in every stone, but not many were destined to become a jewel. Many factors had to come together – the stone had to lie in a certain place, for a certain amount of time, and always in the moonlight. All this time, the pebble absorbs the light of the moon and begins to glow. It was believed that the person who finds this stone becomes clairvoyant.

Adularia (moon stone) was also used by Chaldean magicians in their fortune telling. On the new moon, when the stone became cold, the magicians placed it under the tongue and predicted fate.
