Moonstone is a magical stone that has a shimmering glow floating within.

This mystical gemstone gets its name from the Romans who thought that moonstone was formed out of moonlight. Moonstone is considered a sacred stone in India.

It is believed to bring good fortune, to enhance passion, and to protect women and children. In early times, it was believed that one could see the future if the stone was held in the mouth during a full moon.

Fine moonstone is rare. Better quality moonstones are mined in Sri Lanka and Southern India. Moonstone is also known as the birthstone for those born in June.
