Moonstone is a calming stone that soothes emotional instability and stress. As its name suggests, Moonstone is strongly connected to the moon and its cycles, reminding us that everything is part of a cycle of change. For this reason it is also a stone of new beginnings. Moonstone also promotes intuition and empathy, and it has traditionally been used to enhance psychic abilities, but its most powerful effect is that of calming the emotions. Psychologically, Moonstone calms overreactions to situations and to emotional triggers. It stabilises emotions and can provide healing to deep emotional stress. Moonstone connects strongly with the female reproduction cycle, and is commonly used for fertility.
