Moonstone – The Traveler’s Crystal

Ancient and mystical like the Moon itself, the essence of the Moonstone lies in its energy. Its secrets are covered with a pearly soft veil that refracts light into intriguing colors.

Associated with magical rituals, Moonstone has been known to humanity for over two thousand years. Moonstone was sacred in India and revered in the Orient. It has been an indispensable talisman for travelers, protecting its bearer.

It is said that when a person embarks on a journey – by land or sea – they should carry a Moonstone to "illuminate" their path.

The Moon Opal gets its name from the silvery-white reflection that moves across its surface. The light is refracted into soft colors ranging from white, blue, and gray, to shades of peach.

Moonstone, Opal, or Opalite?

Moonstone is frequently associated with Opalite and Opal. What do these three stones have in common?

The distinctive features of Opalite, for instance, are very similar to those of Moonstone. It is also translucent, has milky hues, and refracts light through its blue-white coloring, spreading into pale orange hues. This color effect is called opalescence, and this is where the name Opalite comes from.

Opal, on the other hand, is also a precious stone with intriguing colors that sometimes closely resemble those of Moonstone.

Let’s examine the properties and varieties of some of the most popular types of these three crystals:

Moonstone (Fish Eye, Wolf Eye, Water Opal)

The properties of this stone are linked to mental clarity and so-called "inner vision." If you need to understand an important life lesson, this variety will help you delve into the depths of the situation and balance the Yin and Yang energies. It is associated with the throat chakra and can help you communicate better.

It is believed that people who lack confidence can gain more self-esteem by carrying this pale blue crystal. It inspires dreamers and lovers. It can be found in shades of black, peach, and translucent.

Moonstone is the birthstone for June. It also protects the zodiac signs Cancer, Libra, and Scorpio. Naturally, the power of the Moonstone significantly increases during full moons. This is an opportune time to recharge your jewelry or accessories.

Black Opal

This stone is considered one of the luckiest stones. It helps to enhance sexual energy and transforms fears into confidence.

Rainbow Opal

Named after its rainbow-like hues, this stone is a symbol of harmony. With a prism effect, it refracts distracting energy throughout our aura. The energetic properties of Opal are connected to Nature’s spirits and can help insomnia and emotional traumas.

Silver Opal

Silver opal is a powerful tool for fortune-tellers and shamans. It is also called the "Stone of the New Moon" and carries the mysteries and powers of this phenomenon. It is said that among its healing properties is the ability to enhance intuition.

Pink Opal

The colors of this type are extremely magnetic, but that is not its main property. According to healers, pink opal is wonderful for headaches caused by a blocked third eye chakra.
