Regarded in the east as an especially lucky gem, and in India as a sacred one, moonstone is so named because its translucent milky white color resembles the glow of the moon. Also called selenite (after Selene, the Greek lunar goddess), moonstone is a member of the feldspar family, most commonly found in India and Ceylon. It is said to arouse the tender passions of lovers and to give them the power to read the future. When placed in orchards or fields, it was believed to produce a more abundant crop. Moonstone soothes and balances the emotions, giving mastery over internal feelings and allowing for calm expression. It is said to protect against epilepsy and insanity, to aid women during their menstrual cycles, and to place men in touch with their gentler nature. In addition to its soft beauty, moonstone continues to be valued for its ability to bring good luck to those who wear it. Medium: Moonstone-Onyx
