Moonstone
Moonstone takes its name from the Sanskrit words kanta (“beloved”) and chandra (“moon”), referring to the pale, shifting glow it reveals when touched by light. This optical effect, known as adularescence, creates a soft, milky radiance reminiscent of moonlight.
Its main deposits are found in Armenia, Australia, Myanmar, India, Sri Lanka and the United States. In 1970, moonstone was chosen as the official gem of the state of Florida, in reference to the lunar missions launched from Cape Canaveral.
Linked to Diana, the Roman goddess of the moon and the hunt, moonstone has long symbolised femininity, gentleness, motherhood and tolerance. In India, where it is considered sacred, it is said to enhance intuition and subtle perception.
Its pearly, mist-like surface gives the stone a quiet, enveloping presence. Designers such as Pippa Small and Grainne Morton are drawn to its soft luminosity and serene, reflective character.
