History and folklore
Moonstone's shimmer, called adularescence, seems to move across the stone like light on water. In India it has long been treasured, and folklore across many cultures says it was formed from moonbeams. Romans believed moonstone held an image of the moon goddess inside. Traditionally it was given to lovers and travelers, especially those who traveled at night. Modern witches connect it with lunar cycles, intuition, and feminine mysteries, and it is a favorite for moon rituals and new beginnings.
