Free-form Polished Sculptures - Black Moonstone

These smooth, highly polished semi-precious stones are formed into a sculptural shape to allow the beauty of the stone to be revealed.

This variety of alkali feldspar is of the orthoclase variety. As magma gradually cools, albite within the mineral forms alternating layers which create a shimmering glow known as adularescence. The quality of moonstone varies and may range from a light milky glow to a bright blue glow, with the highest quality displaying a rainbow sheen. Moonstone occurs within igneous rocks such as pegmatite and granite.

As a healing stone, moonstone is used to enhance intuitive sensitivity, relieve anxiety, stress and over-reaction.

In healing circles, black moonstone is known for its feminine energies. It is said to enhance intuition and inner knowing.
